2005 Tundra 4.7

Has legal K&N CAI using mixture of parts. Stock Toyota air box with remainder CAI K&N. Has a tamper fail in 2018 then a pass. Do you have to use the complete K&N CAI or can you mix and match?

[defective]

CARB certification was done as a complete unit.  No mix and matching parts.  I would fail it.

[smoggee]

Fail.  Must be installed per CARB EO.

 The guy shows up at your shop with those problems? It shows ONE THING. He has no Loyalty.
You question it, the next person will to. So now you could get a ding. WHY? Why would you bother being a nice guy?
 Take the chance? He MAY come back to you next time. Chances are NOT. Plus, could it be a UC? If you question it, most likely the next one will to. Why take the chance for someone who doesn't care about you? He shows no Loyalty.

i agree with besta. Take the chance by failing it, having him fix it, and not fuck you or the next guy over.

Fail it. And repeat customers in test only is a rare thing when so many shops run promotions & sales and I find most customers are just looking for the cheapest guy

I don't think that is necessary true but may also depend on your area though. Most of my business is repeat customers and referrals.
