Default what should i do?

so if i plan to get injen cai, it will make my car not carb rated. What do you guys do to pass the test? do you take it out then reinstall after the test? or do you just go to a shop that will give you a sticker if you bribe them?

I dont know much about carb ratings in Cali, but I can assume it wont change much if you get sniffed. As long as your CEL doesnt go on it should be fine.
