Default what is the best

y pipe setup there is to still be smog legal in CA?

I have shoties, which do little if nothing at all

and a catback with the stock y. Looking for a bit more power before I get my car retuned.

There are people in cali running aftermarket y-pipes,but there not smog legal.Plus you won't gain that much power by switching to an aftermarket y-pipe.If you want more power toss out those shorties,get some longtubes and true duals.That's what I run and I also live in CALI.

SLP's Y pipe for stock should work for you unless the shorties moved the cats..

ya how do you pass smog. I'm not interested in swapping my headers every 2 years to go through emissions.

Get the Mac off road y pipe and just swap it back for the stocker when emissions comes around.

the slp y will work for your set up, and it should be 50 state legal, and make sure that it is before you buy.
