Our host should have these available in 'PartsShopper' this week. Probably a little better price than direct.

Sorry guys, I know this is really old but I got a question. I noticed the Pypes catted x-pipe is the only one that comes with a C.A.R.B. number, so wouldn't this pass ok in CA? Thanks.

From what I heard its illegal to swap the stock pipe for something aftermarket in CA.

ok in CA you can only change the H to an X if you make all of your modifications after the cats and O2 sensors. if there is a pipe with an EO number odds are the EO number is for 1995 and older stangs.

When smog time comes put your stock pipe back on.

I dont' know if this still holds true, but the Ca emmisions law allowed you to change the factorty cats to aftermarket ones if the car is over seven years or 70thou miles. But who knows, Ca changes smog laws every day it seems.

that only holds true for 95 and older cars. 96 and newer you have to use OEM cats. there are only some CARB approved OBD2 cats, but none for 4.6L mustangs. btw a new OEM midpipe is about $2200 last time i checked. and it is illegal in CA to sell used emissions equipment.
