Thanks for the fast input guys! I live in denver colorado and this is the first e-test with the longtubes and catted h-pipe. Normally a o/r x-pipe. The emissions test are not any worse here than anywhere else.

id just take it back and make sure i got a diffirent guy, you could always get some old cats from a junk yard and gut them and tack weld the metal shields up, or just find some metal shields that could look like and cat and put a little tack weld on them, better yet just put some double sided tape on them right before you go so it looks like you have four on there

That would be my approach.

Getting there during rush time may work to your favor too?

let us know how it works out for you...

I thought CA was the only state where you still had to run the original 4-cat setup.
