I ddi have that upr cats x-pipe and after 1.5 year it got clogged so I tool it off and replace with off road upr x-pipe. When I had that , I did pass smog here in las vegas. In cali might not .
There is no way you will pass the sniffer in california without your stock cats. You can search the million of threads about this if you want. Just swap the stocker back in when it is time to smog check.
