Since California has the worst emissions laws, I talked to the guy who does
the state CARB about the tube. According to him, long as it has the correct
return hoses, you will have no problem.

I have currently one on my Suzuki Swift GT, it did pass smog with no
problems.

Subject: DML: NY Emissions Testing With Z-Tube

First, let me say I really like the new 4 inch Z-tube and the 9 inch
Pro-Flow filter.

For all my fellow New Yorkers who have yearly Emission Inspections (not
just safety inspections), have you had a Inspection done with the Z-tube,
and if so, did you pass or where told your truck wasn't Emissions legal
due to the non CARB approved (the air filters aren't CARB approved, right)
Z-tube setup?

I ask as my truck isn't due for Inspection till end of May 2002 and I have
some parts I'd like to sell (ex: 68mm TB, K&N Drop in Filter, stock Airbox
and Airhat, stock 4.7 muffler, etc), and I'd like to know if I should keep
the K&N filter and stock Airbox/hat for that inspection?

Re: the Z-tube not being CARB approved, I believe if a tech doesn't look
under the hood and see the Pro-Flow filter, he won't know there is a CARB
issue as the numbers from the test, should pass, right? Or will the
numbers be off?

Thanks in advance
