do u know why this would be? i dont think i understand why they would not let me have something that would improve airflow therefore improving fuel economy and therefore reduce emissions... from what i understand the stock airbox is very restrictive and should be removed immediately.
thanks anyway

Depending on the parts, may or may not be of a problem... may cause an argument though.... If the parts you install have C.A.R.B. exemption orders, they have no other choice but to allow them since there are two basic standards- Federal and California, and since California standards are more strict than Federal, and states have the option of adopting California emissions standards or following Federal standards, California standards are acceptable in lieu of Federal standards. However, if the system does not meet the basic Federal standards, you are S.O.L.

/me lolz. I pointed you in the right direction. If you can't do it, then fine.
Use the stock aisin carb, use the stock air filter housing and PCV connections for your emissions tests, then go do whatever you want.
