I have an 01 GT mustang. Right now I have BBK long tubed headers, Bassani X pipe and Magnaflow catback exhaust. I want to make my car smog legal again. I ordered JBA shorty headers and a Borla catback system. I am a complete moron and thought that a catback system came with cats. I now realize that I need a new midpipe. One, would anyone like a brand new borla catback system? Two, does anyone have a catted midpipe that they would like to sell?

Justdoit, California smog inspections are now pretty tough. If they see any new parts on the exhaust they check the part numbers on the cats to make sure they are the right ones. Be careful on this, Kalifornia now has "special" cats so you can't use any new parts from out of state.

Keep in mind that there are 4 cats on this stock exhaust system so a new one would cost a fortune.

The easiest way to get thru it is to find a used front pipe set. I'd try this forum, it has a pretty active for sale section:
