1)return to stock as everyone has said.
2)Talk to a lawyer! it will cost you about $150 for a hour of his/her time. You want a lawyer that can draft a formal complaint letter for you. This he will send in to the chief of police, and will in turn go to IIB. The officer will get a copy of the letter in his HR folder, and a "mark" will be placed. This means he will be warned not to engage you again, and that he must call in another officer to deal with you at any time.

I'd urge you to stay away from the Internal Affairs option. A close friend just finished 'substance abuse' class (don't ask) and one of her classmates tried the Internal Affairs complaint route with a cop that pulled him over for a field sobriety test. Over the next year, he was pulled over at least once a week and racked up over $6k in tickets (mostly non-points violations) from all manner of local and state PD. Either he was a really terrible driver or made himself a target with that complaint. Not worth the risk.
Second off, local and state LEO rarely talk to each other on major cases, let alone something so petty as a complaint letter. Yes there is the whole "thin blue line" but, it only goes so far.

He only needs to find one thing to give you the ticket and your Intake is not C.A.R.B. legal, which is surprising for K&N. But, having the intake trip the cop to give you a ticket just opened a can of worms with all the other mods.
Back to stock...had to do that to a friends STI recently. Her car was from Arizona and needed CA plates, which included a Smog. BugEyeRex02 donated his stock TBE and it fit on the 06 STI.
Can't wait till they pull me over, I am just running a legal SPT CBE, and its loud enough to make cops tail me everywhere. I have a feeling they want to ref me too.
