    Go to a muffler shop they should be able to get you some cats. I think jba shorties are ca smog legal, so you can just weld your cats on those.

    set up for journeys and adventures; camping and fishing get off the grid Comfortable sleeping bed in shell; Great storage space; roof cargo basket w/ hi-jack mounted; custom header; intake; CB radio: lights (front and back); The entire back lifts up and with the proper lights and mood becomes a Polynesian themed Tiki bar and outdoor kitchen; desert or mountain command vehicle. Previous owner told me the truck was named Billy. Sigh. I settled for Billy Goat.
    I just talked to a shop in Santa Rosa, and will do a comparison to confirm and let you know, but it is cheaper (certainly comparable) than the aftermarket brands to just make a header using the stock CA CAT Converter. They told me that as long as they build around that, they can make a header that is CA legal and adds HP and a nice sound. I am going to talk with them this week, get an estimate, and have it done. Intake is the trick...

    Same situation, looking for CA friendly headers.
    SummitRacing lists the Doug Thorley shorty, and also JBA "Cat4ward" shorty, as California EO approved.

    The JBA show as "without Air Injection", DT doesn't say either way. (What's Air Injection?)
