I live in Cali and will be purchasing the Magnaflow X. I have OEM headers with a Bassani CatBack. Do I need the shorty X or will the full length with Cats be good AND pass Cali smog?
Give SN's PartShopper a call. They have big savings going on plus free shipping! Very comparable to the latest prices posted here. I've got 'em in stock ready to ship!
I'm confused. I thought the full X pipe had CARB approved cats on them. Thus meaning they will pass California smog. The shorty doesn't come with cats becuase it sits behind the OEM cats. At least that's what the website at ninosport says. http://www.ninosport.com/store/item_4.6LMagnaflow_X-pipes2.htm
The converters are approved .......however you are going from 4 converters to 2 converters...thats where the problem is....
some guys are too lazy to look for the extra converters though......I passed with a Magnaflow X on mine no problem.....the guy just looked under and when he saw the first two didnt bother looking for the second....
you could always make discrete inquiries at your local speedshop as to a "friendly" smog shop. just don't go spouting off the name of the shop to everyone.
i am still deciding between a magnaflow x or the magnaflow shorty x.
