As far as in the case of the cats are concerned, you can play Devil's advocate regarding the engine size/max poundage ratings all you want. At the end of the day, if the vehicle is unable to pass OBDII emissions scan resulting from disabling any the OEM catalyst monitors or tampering with the OEM catalyst equipment/devices in anyway? the vehicle is nevertheless illegal to be driven on public roads, streets and highways.Homepage | California Air Resources Board
Put this here to not start no flame wars BUT if there was anything that the Fed EPA needed to copy from CARB it's the link at the bottom of CARB's home page...."Aftermarket Parts".
This is a listing of all CARB EO aftermarket parts legal to use in California or other CARB states from all vendors that sent parts for CARB cert testing. This includes FI kits (turbo's, centris & TVS\TS).
All parts come w\ the legal documentation & in the case of cats, the engine size\max poundage rating so that you can match up to what you got & show at smog tests for verification.
You can talk about them all you want BUT they have made it as easy & helpful as they could for folks to have their modded cars w\ performance AND comply w\ the CARB rules.
I look for this site to get pinned to the Fed EPA web site & become the official site in the upcoming future.
