I think emissions testing before the engine is just stupid.

But that being said - looks like you need a stock airbox. Know anyone that would be willing to let you borrow theirs for a day?

I have a K&N as well. Just swap stock intake back on the put the K&N back afterwards. Take less than five minutes to swap.

It's quite possible you'd fail the visual inspection.

Any friends with a Camaro? Or post here asking if any members are in the area. I'm sure you can find someone who will let you borrow a stock intake for a 12 pack or a meal somewhere.
