I believe that he is referring to the fact that per CA law, technically any modification of the exhaust system BEFORE the last catalytic converter is not CARB legal and is grounds to fail a SMOG inspection. So even if I just throw in a Motiv Concepts overpipe and leave the rest of my exhaust intact, it's still no bueno.

Again, as dumb as it sounds, even though it's just replacing one overpipe with another and retaining both factory cats, it's technically still not street legal. Hopefully they'll "do the right thing" and make this kit CARB legal though.
