From a PRACTICAL standpoint, after comparing the 49 state airfilter the local dealer has to my California filter that the dealer does not have...I don't see why they won't interchange. I can't see where the micro amount of oil/gas that would normally contact the charcoal unit is going to hurt the paper element.

Your thoughts please? Thanks!

As you can see in the photo, the California filter has a place where a Charcoal canister nestles down into it. The 49 state filter is all pleated filter paper. No reason for dealers outside Calif to stock the odd version, so I'd have to special order it, or buy online, neither of which I had the patience for.
