You don't live in California so it doesn't really matter anyway. The sticker is for smog purposes for us California people. I didn't get one with mine either because they said the were still in the process of getting CARB certification.

I had the same problem. Eventually broke the TB clamp after tightening it a couple times and had to replace it, and recently found the filter sitting on the ECM after that clamp failed...not good. Couldn't easily find the 6-8" clamp for the filter connection, so I bought (2) 4" clamps and put them together.
I think it's ultimately from overtightening. Eventually, the bottom part of the connector spreads from the stress and lets loose. One final tighten and pop it goes.

when I installed my CAI, first thing I did was use rubbing alcohol and wipe down the ends of the MAF housing, and also the inside of the K&N filter - that black plastic rubber has a greasy film on it...
wipe down the inside of the K&N flange with the rubbing alcohol - it removes that greasy film and will solve your problems. Mine has never come loose
or even moved at all from day 1.
