      the reason the price is so high is because from the factory, the y-pipe, cat, and S-pipe are all one piece, and thus sold as one piece at GM locations. You can buy a universal cat at any autozone or parts store for 60ish

        Pres. Obama wants to make Calif. an example for the rest of the states to follow. So it's only going to make it tougher.

        I have Random Tech. Just don't say anything when they do smog it. Hopefully they won't look down or anything.

              I saw alot of them in that price range, but weren't legal for use in gay @-- California. If anyone out there knows where I can get one that will pass emissions and cost me less, I am all ears. It's still in the box and under warranty so I can easily take it back.

                  I have a Magnaflow cat Part#46006 which is listed on the list of California-legal cats for ODBII vehicles on their website. It comes with a certificate the has to be signed by the installer and car owner. Doesn't mention anything about being used for just off-road applications.

                    I have an OEM cat that was used for less than a year. NY follows CA's emissions, so it would work for you. If shipping weren't so much I would offer it to you.
