i just got my tc like a week ago and im planning to put some performance parts.

i was wondering if headers are illegal in cali and if theyr not, which ones should i buy? thanks

 

now i dont know for sure, but appearantly EVERYTHING is illegal in cali.

 

header that deletes the stock cat is illegal
i dont think any of them retains it
unless they make a shorty header sometime

oh and theres a 2nd cat in the midpipe fyi

 

ALL HEADERS ARE ILLEGAL IN CALIFORNIA FOR THE tC..

its because we have our primary cat on the header, and ALL the headers out there rite now do not replace it, but delete it..so yes, they are illegal

so are intakes!!!

but who cares? i still put them on

 

but cold airs are easy to put on and take off , if i a put a header it wont pass the smog and if i get pulled over ill probably get a fix ticket to remove it

 

dude smog isnt for five years... its every five years so who cares? just put it back on when it comes time to smog, headers arent that hard to install

and you only get pulled over if your car looks like its modded.. or your doin something stupid, so refrain from both

 

I think there's something everyone is overlooking. It's a federal offense to remove any working cat.

It's not just illegal in California, it's illegal in the US.

 

is it really?

cuz im about to remove my secondary cat soon..

and would the dealer report it?

 

i was wondering that too.. well would a dealer write down somewhere that we voided our warranty because we removed this and that or had a header etc? when lets say i get my oil changed?

 

thats what your worried about?

they cant void your warranty, so i dont know why everyone thinks that.. google Magnuss Moss act(think thats the name)

i was wondering if they would report it to the DMV
