The H pipe adapter kit is not a Pypes product and we have not tested it. However, it appears like it was made for the express purpose of allowing 94-97 V6 owners to have a true dual exhaust. It looks like a decent solution.

No it's not lega to remove them.. ESPECIALLY in California. You really aren't supposed to take them off anywhere, but some states like California have strict emmissions laws. I heard of some people making a quick setup. To where the cats can easily be removed and re-installed. So they can put them back on when it comes time to pass the emissions test. Idk, I wouldn't try it over there. Here in Fl. different story. No emissions test to pass just to renew tags. Gahhh I hated that in Michigan. If theres a CE light, it fails.. if the PPM is too high, even by 1 ppm, it fails.. and you have to come back again after you have fixed the problem. If its not fixed, no tags for you.

J, in the other topic I mention that we are notifying you guys and that I expected the prices would be fixed today. Dave should have handled it already.
