I just picked up a very modded 402 stroker SoCa 04 coupe. that has lg pro long tubes and high flow cats into a corsa touring catback that passed CA.'s most rigid smog testing in the ol' USA....go for it and enjoy!

I also had an 02 coupe with just long tubes(removed all smog stuff) into a borla catback. get the cats..... the high flow cats just do not impede the volume/sound that you want out of your toy.

A properly running car without a huge cam will likely pass the sniffers with no converters at all. Once the car is warmed up the gasses should be in spec.

I live in Maryland, I have long tube headers and a procharger. As long as the Check engine light is not on it will pass. They only check for trouble codes on cars newer than 1996. In some cases they won't even check that. "If your Vette is lowered" they won't even bother, you will get a waiver and they won't even take your money.
