Most cats for you CA guys will say "meets CA emissions standards", not saying this one won't but I dont wanna see you buy it and not pass.

from what i have found,all the cats that pass CA emissions and are direct bolt on are different lengths then the non ca cats. The cheapest i could fine for one was 600 bucks

direct bolt on.

Well when i went to my mechanic to geta new cat, most of the ones you can order online that are direct bolt on have to say CA Emissions because piece is shaped different i believe. See from Tasauto they sell a direct fit but it "Doesnt fit the CA Emissions Model" TasAuto Cat
And the ones i could find online that fit CA were dealer only and those are 1000 Plus for one
