K&N

[AgentStarks]

I need some help. I have a '99 Eddie Bauer and I want to take out the stock airbox and replace it with a K&N cone-shaped filter. Is there an adapter that goes from the square piece that the air box mounts on to that'll fit the new filter? Can anyone help me out with the Model #'s I need?

Well, you can make your own, buy a KN FIPK kit, or buy a KKM kit. The KKM is much cheaper, but doesn't have CARB certification. So the fix for this is, buy the KKM kit from www.kustomz.com and then buy a KN sticker from www.knfilters.com . Put the KN sticker on your KKM and yay, you're CARB legal

but that's dishonest.....

will K&N actually sell the CARB Legal sticker? I know they sell the other stickers

You just need the "STOP" and KN Filtercharger stickers. You don't need a carb cert sticker. Actually, most of the inspection guys don't know the difference anyway, but this is just playing it safe.

"Golly gee Mr. K&N I seem to have lost my sticker. Can I get another one?"
Playing dumb, which comes easy for me, usually works. That and $.

K&N mount

I seem to remember a post showing how to take a certain piece of black plastic drain pipe and cut it so you could make a mount for a K&N cone filter. Looked pretty good too. Might try a search for K&N mount or something like that.

will k&n actually sell the carb legal sticker though? i live in CA and we have evil smog inspection rules

According to the K&N booklet, California only inspects every two years. How hard is it to just put the origional air box back in before inspection? I lived in Japan for eight years and there were guys there who put their stock engine back in every year before inspection. Even if you get a sticker if the inspector is sharp he will have seen enough K&N's to know what they look like. What's the fine going to cost you?

well, the fines for mods if pulled over is really expensive..... they can nail you for equipment violations which are corectable or for flagrant violations which arent and are very $$$$$$$$.... anyway, the sticker is important... not becuase im lazy (well that too) but then i have another part laying around the house....
