I need your guys help! Buying a new set of headers for my sons ta for xmas, but we live in ca. so we need carb number.Would like ceramics coated but will go with the best we can get. thanks for your replys.

 

pacesetter's have cheap smog legal ceramic coated headers.

 

SLP offers a shorty style header that is ceramic coated and has a carb number and legal in all 50 states.

 

I'd use the SLP headers and the randon tech Y pipe with dual converters.

 

Ive got the Pacesetters, www.texas-speed.com has a set of emissions legal ceramic coated pacesetters for 375 and ORY for 125, just gotta get some cats.

 

Hooker and TPIS both make good immsions legal shorties.

 

For a 96, he needs CARB-EO certified dual-cat headers. SLP and JBA come to mind. AS&M made a set of dual-cat headers for a while, but they stopped making them because they melted everything in the engnie compartment. I thought the Hooker and TPIS were single-cat design.

 

pacesette emission legals.... then slap on 2 high flow cats onto the collectors....that should work? lol

 

In California, probably not. Pacesetters do not carry a CARB number and with a long tube header, it is technically illegal because it moves the factory placement of the catalytic converter(s).

 

That sucks that moving the location of the cats is illegal! But I have no cats so I don't have to worry Gotta love living in a non emissions county

 

tru i didnt know that...i live in MA the emissions r tight but not that tight lol...ecspecially cuz i go to a guy who just came over the border....and he just needs the $$...and i get him business
