Last I checked there were only 50 states in the USA
For the headers he's looking at, he'd pass the visual. They are 50 state smog legal and they retain the stock cat location.

In other words, this quote, as it applies to the OPs original question:
is incorrect. Unless you were referring to something else. If so, my bad.
If you don't know what a CARB E.O. number is or what it means for aftermarket parts, then you need to educate yourself. We all do for that matter.

It is not incorrect. The carb eo that is given when you buy either shorty headers means that the stock position of the catylitic converter has NOT changed and therefore would pass visuals. That is why CARB EO are not given to LT headers. If the smog station sees any aftermarket modifications under your hood, the CARB EO number is what they are going to ask you for.
Did I miss something?
Here's a quote from arb's website, maybe this will help out:
Exempted parts are add-on or modified parts that have undergone an ARB engineering evaluation. If the part or modification is shown to not increase vehicle emissions, it is granted an exemption to emission control system anti-tampering laws. This exemption is called an Executive Order (EO) and allows the modification to be installed on specific emission controlled vehicles. Every Executive Order part or modification has an assigned number that can be verified by Smog Check stations, BAR Referee stations, or by the ARB.

[QUOTE=BigDaddyBry;9457174]C'mon Vic, in one quote you say "it will fail the visual" and in another you say "they'll ask for the CARB EO #" which states its a legal header, meaning it won't fail the visual.

It will fail visual if the technician sees that the cats have been moved, now if you show him a CARB no. he might just let u pass

Not trying to be a dick, but it looks like you have the wrong info. This leads to much mis-information on this topic.
Bottom line: If you have a CARB EO number for your smog-legal header, you will pass.

Therefore, to answer your question, yes they are legal in Cali.
