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.
That's what I meant and I ale meant to say the front pipe. Look at the picture there front pipes are replaced. He even says they are coated too. I always thought if any of the stock cats are replaced you can't get carb approval.
