Wagner short is the only one CARB i am aware of. And difference in performance is minimal at best.

And they have problems with welds.

I just picked up an OBX header but i have yet to put it on. I doubt it is CARB Legal because it removes the pre-cat. Worth checking out anyways, has anyone tried to pass smog with one of these?

I have a ceramic coated Reactive 4-1 header. I like it. Looks nice and sounds nice... It was a little difficult to line up to the cat underneath- and really difficult to get the spring bolts in place, but with some luck and some C clamps, I was able to get it...

we will see... I need to get a cat for cali... and hope that my car being stock will pass... otherwise make a friend in AZ and register my car there and have no smog lol...

I have been trying to find out if nevada's smog is as bad as california's.... im in kansas where we dont have smog... but..... im moving.. lol

How about purchasing a 2nd Cat to replace the one that gets removed by the header?

We don't have Smog here in Alberta so i won't have to worry...

I have an msp midpipe with 2 cats that I bought a while back from another forum member ended up not getting aftermarket heads and never needed it. It's just been sitting in my garage for months

lol laws like this makes me glade I don't live in Cali. Free modifiying . The only mod I know that is illegal in ohio is Spray and that is if its connected. They'll check to make sure your not connected or empty.

i think spray is illegal in most places. There is a guy around my area w/ spray on his Mustang Cobra and his on/off button is hidden in his glove box lol crafty(wink)

as mentioned above.. NOS... mitrous... lol.... go fast button.. I have a direct port injection kit that is nicely hidden, however i have never used it.. wanted to at times but i dont think i ever will due to horrible wheel spin when turbo'd as it is.... although it would be bad ass to use it in conjunction with my 2step to see how far the flames would throw... right now they are about.. 6 inches maybe 8 out of the muffler..
