I always thought if you farted you'd get an emissions violation ticket in Cali.

ehh, it's easy enough to swap back, just keep your original and if anyone says anything about it, you can always swap back. I don't THINK it should be an issue. It's a relatively minor change.

I can't imagine it being Illegal, but just check with the laws online...

There isn't a cold air kit that will make your car illegal unless your engine light comes on for any apparent reasons!!

well, on my 5.0 i have a standard CAI thats not in the fenderwell and i failed inspection because the aftermarket part didnt have a carb E.O number which certifies it for use in california,
however i thought as long as its covered its legal, but i wanted to check, and cali is gay when it comes to the aftermarket laws, i got pulled over because the officer said my stock gt looked a little to low, wtf
