Yeah, that's what delayed the release of the INJEN intake. AEM made a complaint to the CARB about INJEN's pending release and the charcoal fiilter, and thus the delay to the market. INJEN had the intakes ready to release right after SEMA, but AEM made their complaint and the rest is history.
lol
No, there are no CARB approved intakes. Some reports suggest that due to the carbon filter that's in the stock airbox, there will never be a CARB approved intake, since they all remove the stock airbox and consequently the carbon filter. The carbon filter is considered to be a part of the emissions equipment so its removal negates CARB legality.

Just like the Bridgstone S-03 tires on my Matrix, 225/40-18s are over $200 EACH! Compared to say Parada Specs 2s that will be $50-75 cheaper.

And your telling me same size piping as stock is good? A bit more air would mean a bit more performance.

In regards to pricing difference:
Having owned both, I'd buy the Injen if it was $100 more than the K&N. There are many a factors for this that I have posted before. From crap mounting points, to crap parts, to crap everything. I'll never buy a K&N product ever again.

and let it be known to those who are waiting for a carb legal cai!!!
THEIR WILL NEVER BE ONE, because the factory air box has a carbon filter, and all the intakes produced do not have one, simply because adding this little papery substance reduces hp that would be produced by a CAI.
just dont drive like an @$$, keep your car looking moderatley stock, and be nice.... and you wont have problems
