Re. the rest:

The above link to a JDL catted UEL shows a product that is not listed on the JDL website which only lists uncatted headers. I have tried to communicate with JDL to clarify availability and fitment to the stock exhaust system.

As far as CARB and the CA DMV issue goes, there are certain Zip Codes within six CA counties that require the STAR smog inspection ONLY for change of ownership registration.

Why I seek a catted UEL header while retaining the OEM system aft of it? Noise, sound, sensors, visual inspection and because catback changes are indeed anecdotal as correctly stated by Lantanafrs2.

Thanks go to all.
JDL does sell a Catted UEL Header and you can have it ceramic coated through them. I literally purchased one directly through Jesse at JDL back in June.

JDL Link: https://jdlautodesign.net/shop/ft86-...length-header/
FT86 Speed Factory Link: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/jdl-...l#.W4_9r6Qo-aM

FT86SF has Black and Chrome Ceramic Coating in stock and ready to ship. If you want a different color coating you’ll have to wait for JDL to build it. If thats the case, you are better off going through Jesse at JDL directly. When I reached out to him, they had a Catted UEL waiting to get Ceramic Coated, so I was able to select my finish and had a brand new bent header at my door in about 1.5 weeks.

Can’t say enough of positive things about Jesse over at JDL. Great customer service and very dedicated to his high quality product.
