I purchased a Magnaflow High Flow Cat from PDM Racing and i have less than 5,000 miles on it. I noticed there are CALIFORNIA cats out there now and I do not want to purchase another cat.

Do you guys know which smog requires this? I have smog coming up soon and I wasn't sure if it was the TEST ONLY / STAR that checked it, or does ALL SMOG check ups look at your cat now?

Star station failed my friends miata for having the wrong cat. So depending on how anal the guy is he may run the part # on your cat

Thank your GOVERNER and local LAW ENFORCEMENT agencies for the awesome laws car enthusiasts have to put up with. haha!
question: why are butterfly knives illegal if the rule is never bring a knife to a gun fight?
