not a chance. it will fail the visual. IIRC cats have to be factory (no high flow) and I think they need to be in factory location. I think the location thing is a federal law too. but I could be wrong about that.
I know you wont pass an honest inspection in CA with longtubes

I'm sure there are some "car guy " shops around there that don't care about the location of your cats ,as long as have them on your car , they will pass it.....I hope .

As said, stock location. Aftermarket cats are legal with over 70,000 miles, but have to be 50 state legal. Almost all of them are 49 state. That said, if you can get them to forget the visual (tweaker smog shop + tip), then longtubes and 49 state legal cats will pass the siffer IF you have a good tune.
