    The page with just the headers says something about 49 state legal cats. The page with the headers and Y pipe says its not CARB rated. I'm not really sure if that means anything or not.

    Ahh, maybe I'm looking at the 12-14 v6 and its different. Could also be a browser issue and I'm just not loading that note on my page. Good to know if its not street legal.

    Well thank you for the insight, im not worried about carb/legal etc, the border is swiss chesse *illegal* and the world is burning. Not all doom and gloom just seeking headers and seeing if anyone had these. :)

    I guess it is a glorified shorty header but it has high flow cats built in, ie 300 CPI vs, stock of what 5-600cpi? Maybe I would better off using stock headers and having 2-300 CPI cats welded in? Any thoughts? Ty in advance

    You're right. Don't get them. They're no effing good because they don't have equal length runners.

    I just want better flow exhaust but catless may be a little too loud. Anyone able to dig up dyno on these?

    Only benefit of these versus just a shorty header is that these are pure bolt on. Unlike the other shorties without cats.

    For some, all costs considered, it could be a worthy choice.

    For $600, and in an emissions strict State, extremely worthy.

    Link for that price?

    The CARB legal applies only to California and those states which base their emissions standards off Californias strict emissions.
