You can do (almost) anything you want behind the cataltic converter. Mufflers are not a problem in So Cal.

you guys got some pretty strict laws out in cali..

I would honestly call your local bureau of motor vehicles before I believed what someone typed to me on the internet.

but in all Honesty as stated above... there is no way in hell it will NOT pass a smog test.

P.S.if you got some points, i would not even think about putting that muffler on.. because all it is going to do is make you want to jump on the throttle and hear that muffler scream.

It is all legal, don't worry. As long as you have zero modifications before or on the cat, it will PASS smog and be street legal.

^^^ As long as it passes noise levels. Smog won't be an issue as catback does not affect smog levels.

Put them on, if you think you'll have a problem with the noise, swap them out. You should be fine with the smog issue.
