Well, the FIPK has a CARB EO# on it that will allow you
to pass your smog test (at least visually). In California (and most
all states are going to this) you can't pass with the FABM or other
FIPK clone, without the CARB EO# (which only K&N has).
The only solution other than buying a FIPK, is to go the
close route, and then when it's time to get your smog test is to
spend 20 minutes taking off the clone setup and reinstalling
the stock OEM aircleaner for the test (then put everything back
on later).
