Non of the websites I found sell California legal bolt in cats.... I found bolt-on ones but they dont sell to california... Called driftmotion, aaron said they dont sell nor install CATS... I called Jose from Kaizen, he said he can install it but he told me I have to order it which is not possible...

The only legal CAT i saw was a magnaflow bolt-on but its only for an N/A which is 2.25 inlet and outlet...

Any ideas? Thanks

I also called BIC and they said they only have 2.25 also.. Non for turbos that are legal..

I won't assume that you don't know this already, but you can pass CA smog very easily with no cat in place. I had a HKS DP to test pipe to HKS catback and a blow off valve on my 91T. Passed smog with flying colors. Twice.

I just replaced O2 sesor to fix... But my CAT sounds like there is broken glass inside and it feels like its clogged. Plus... I have a friend that got fined $5000 for not having a CAT so i dont wanna take the risk.... Judge brought it down to $500 but still its $500.
