Borla Headers, CARB, What?
Looking over the installation instructions for the Borla LT headers, and came across something odd. First, we all know that it is illegal to re-position the CATs, which LT headers do. Secondly, the Borla LTs are the only aftermarket header that does not give an option for CATs. One of the steps in the installtion process is to install the C.A.R.B sticker under the hood.
Forget about relocation of the CATs, how in the world can Borla get C.A.R.B approval for a product that removes CATs?
I must be missing something here.

their made for OFF ROAD use only. it clearly says on the headers when ordered. lucky for me, i have no e chack and running the borla headers is ok. i dont think its relocating the cats thats the issue. i think its not running any at all. the borla headers are not meant to run with cats.

It is against Federal law to remove or alter the position of the catalytic converters. The fact that your state does not do a check does not make it legal.

I think the legality of cat removal has already been well covered.

The C.A.R.B. #'s only to show it legal to use in california on street driven vehicles. If it's on a removable sticker it must state the product the E.O.# is for.
That sticker being with the headers is most likely just a mistake, and for some other headers Borla makes.
