No matter what in Cali, if the Cats moved location from stock you are illegal; especially with long tubes! IIRC, all long tubes are illegal in Cali for the 4th Gen F-Body. Unless you have all the bolt-ons, cam/heads, etc that make you illegal in Cali anyway(off-road only), a 2.75 in/out Cat is not going to do anything you should be worried about. Well...because it is considered an off-road only race car (drag, auto-x, RR, etc...) If your car is a DD or weekend warrior, you need to follow your liberal, *** kiss'n states rules OR know soneone who will pass you with a few "greenbascks." NOT wetbacks, but "Greenbacks!"
