Default How many cats needed in CA

I'm looking at a catted h-pipe which only has two cats. Do the CA laws require four cats? If two cats are legal would I pass smog with it?

Hey, there are no smog tests in Miami. None! The air is clean too, no earth quakes either, summer is all year long, and chicks have bigger **** and longer legs.

as long as you have a catted mid pipe you are fine but it doesnt mean it would pass smog just so you know...

Well if it passed when I bought it and I haven't done anything except headers and h-pipe I should pass again with no problems yes?

lmao, yeah a agree..

and yes you should pass as long as it has a set of cats..

heres some tips to help you pass..

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND PREPARATION

-- . Make sure your vehicle has a clean air filter and fresh engine oil.

-- . Make sure your vehicle's gasoline cap fits your vehicle, isn't damaged and is turned tightly in place. A vehicle without a gas cap is an automatic Smog Check test failure.

-- . The week of the Smog Check test, take the vehicle out for an extended drive, preferably on the freeway and especially if you're regularly a "short trip" driver. Drive approximately 30 minutes or longer at varying speeds on freeways, surface streets and up hills.

THE DAY OF THE SMOG CHECK TEST

-- . Fill the gas tank of your vehicle with the grade of fuel stated in the owner's manual.

-- . Make sure all fluids are topped off and that all non-essential items are removed from the trunk or the rear of the vehicle. The dynamometer weighs your vehicle before the test, and if the vehicle is heavier than it should be, the weight will make it harder to pass.

-- . Drive at least 30 minutes before arriving at the Smog Check test facility to ensure the car or truck has reached full operating temperature. Ask the repair facility if they can perform the test within 15 minutes of your arrival. This will let the vehicle return to normal operating temperature quickly. Remember to bring the DMV renewal notice with you to the repair facility. The paperwork has a bar code on it that needs to be scanned for the Smog Check test. If you don't have the paperwork, the repair facility may charge you for the extra time it takes to input the vehicle identification number that they could pick up from the bar code.
