Default CA legal Headers?

Who makes headers that have CARB numbers for California? Does anyone make mid-length or LTs that will be legal? I won't even bother with shorties.

yup

Federal law states that relocating your factory cats from their stock location is illegal, so techinically all Mids/LT's are illegal everywhere. Some states just dont give a f*ck

16nrollininaws6,

I'm not worried about the federal cat laws - my car is a 1989 Formula, the cats are under the passenger side seat and staying there. So, that PARTICULAR issue is not an issue for me.

jrp,

Coincidentally, the reason I asked this is because I will very likely be moving to San Diego in the next couple years or so. So, I'm trying to keep my 3rd Gen LS1 conversion as "legal" as possible.

Since you are from San Diego yourself, I'm going to send you a PM with a couple more questions.

Thanks,
Adam
