Step 1: Replace intake with the stock intake
Step 2: Go back and pass Smog
Step 3: Put the K&N intake back on and enjoy your car for 2 years until you need to do smog again.

On K&N's website, they specifically say the intake for the IS250 is NOT CARB exempt so you wouldn't have the plate anyways. The only one I can immediately recall being legal in all states is the F Sport intake. Like what was said above, switch back to your stock intake. If you don't have it, find someone who will swap with you for a day.
