If you have cats I dont see why it would be illegal.

I was stationed in Norcal for 4 years and I saw a few with long tubes, one was highway patrol so... I would say YES, they're legal! Just make sure you have cats on.

^ Yes, catalytic converters = cats

There was a question of this on another site I go to. Apparently long tube headers on the SN-197's move the the cats to another spot, and there was a question on this being legal? Someone said they thought it was illegal to move the cats from the factory spot, is this true?
