Are you from CA? I wonder, because that's a question like I have to ask! [Image: smile.gif] As long as it's not visual, it won't be a problem. They do a quick under-the-hood visual check to see if you have any issues, then it's to the gascap and tailpipe, at least it is in CA. I think we have the absolute worst smog checks in the world, so you should be okay. Tuck the hose out of the way, and I agree with Hybridbird on the gas fumes issue- I'm sure you'll let loose more fumes pumping gas once than you will letting that hose dangle for ten years.

If you mount the K&N filter in front of the Radiator you can connect the carbon caninster house to the plumbing running to the VAM. Thats what I did.

Probably, but I think it's because this thread went on as long as it has [Image: biggrin.gif]

Niles is only about 5 or 6 miles from here... wow. I figured you were from CA when you asked about that purge canister. They aren't going to check that, I don't think. If I'm ever over in that area, I'll have to look for a maxima to race! [Image: biggrin.gif]
