Any and ALL aftermarket catted x-pipes are illegal in CA. They all remove the pre-cats and you will fail visual if the tech knows what he is doing.

Your best bet is to buy or rent a stocker mid-pipe and use it to pass smog, then re-install whatever you are using after you pass.

FWIW the Pypes cat is CARB legal, but again the catted x is not.

There's no such thing as a "high-flow" catalytic converter, except in the creative marketing department minds of far too many vendors.
