Rpmoutlet has the Pypes catted X listed as 50 state legal, but they're not. Even Pypes website says they aren't approved for CA.
That ad is really worded badly on that site. What is 50 state (and CARB) legal are the cats, not the x pipe itself.

Just do what tons of others do. Get an aftermarket, and swap for Smog. I would get a catted X or H, as a lot of cops only know that you are supposed to have cats, not how many. So if you get pulled over and they get nosy, at least you have cats, and it may just get you out of a very expensive ticket.

Just get the off road x. when you have to smog it, put the stock back on to pass smog, then put the x back on. Thats what a ton of people do in Cali.

I thought that as long as your CEL doesn't come on, you were ok as far as emissions. [&:]

In California, you need to pass an actual exhaust reading test and a physical inspection of all the emissions related components on top of them plugging into the OBDII port. Its not like some other states that just plug into the OBDII to see if there are any codes.

My check engine light is on, but it will shut off with the MIL Eliminator, or when I put the original pipe on for smog.
