Having a short ram intake in CA
So I want to buy the k&n intake but it doesn't include the carb legal sticker I need in order to pass smog. I would go for the fsport since its carb legal but I'm more in it for the sound and price

You have a few options:
1) Switch back to stock before the inspection- intakes don't take long to swap (not suggesting you actually do this, since of course it means you're breaking the law most of the time
)
2) Buy the CARB sticker for the F-sport intake for $5 and hope they don't know your intake isn't the one the sticker is for (not suggesting you actually do this, since of course it means you're breaking the law most of the time)
3) Find a... less than honest inspector....I've heard those things exist some places... (not suggesting you actually do this, since of course it means you're breaking the law most of the time)

Those are part of the "visual" inspection. If you go to a normal place that doesn't care then you're fine, just make sure of the norms like CELs. But i've never had a problem with something like that with a routine smog. They might not even pop your hood.
