Default So cali got one step gayer...

Has anyone seen the new "cali only" cats around? I was trying to order a set of high flow cats and noone will ship them to california any more, because of the new rules.

Heres a link to the rules... now I can't get cats at all thanks to this. Just so you guys have an idea, a cat for a 3.8L V6 camaro using these new cats costs almost $1600.00 according to their list.

Order what you need, have it shipped to a friend out of state, they forward it to you. No big deal.

I seriously almost had a heart attack when I read the prices on some of these things. Why in the hell do the need to **** with us more? Tell arnold to sell his damn hummers if he wants to help the environment.

This is true, but the reason I found out about this was when I tried to go to a shop to have my catback aligned properly. They wouldn't touch it. I had to go to some shady *** place that did a shitty job.

Well, more than that I want to get rid of the gas smell when it idles, and quiet the car down some. But now I have to have them shipped to my dads house and have them mailed to me or something. **** this state.
