Need C.A.R.B Legal Cats I'm Having A Problem With Using Stock Cats On A 98 Ls1 Engine. They Obviously Are Restrictive When Using A Supercharger And Nitrous. What Is My Alternative. Need To Stay C.A.R.B Legal.

if you want them to still be legal they have to remain in the same position in which they were installed from the factory. I know Random Technonlogy has a set that replace stock cats in the same position.

I called CARB about two years ago and as of then there were no CARB certified replacement cats. That being said, probably 98% of smog techs won't be able to tell the difference visually, as long as they pass the sniffer.

I talked to Random Technologies and they do make a OBDII converter but it is not a California OBDII legal. In California that is the only issue. I am going to call Magnaflow and see how far out they are if they are indeed making them
