Are there any aftermarket catted mid pipes that are smog legal here in CA? I can only find the 2 catted pipes but they aren't legal in CA. Will the 2 catted ones pass the sniffer if my smog guy has bad eyes? lol

I've searched extensively for something hi-flow but could only find the Magnaflow X pipe like mentioned above. I passed at the $900+ price tag! UGH!

The 4 Cat magnaflow X pipes pass smog.

Any 2 cat x or H pipe will not pass visual.

I'm mainly concerned with the sniffer. The smog shop I use have told me if it passes the sniffer then it passes with them. I had a 95 T-bird with no mufflers and it passed with them every time. Guess Ill be buying a catted H pipe and will keep the stock one just in case
