    i dont think there is such a thing, they are all listed as "off-road". remember, its because of california that all these vehicles have restricted cats.

    Just because a cat says "50 state legal", that only means it will have low enough emissions. However, In cali, any modification to the stock cat is illegal.

    One thing with changing to high flow cats (and I did this with my older Mustang) is that you can't really see them easily (especially if your car is lowered) and there's so many different kinds that most regular smog check guys don't know the difference. As long as they're there and the car passes, that's all they care about.

    Ex. My Mustang. It's original cat h-pipe has 4 converters, 2 smaller pre ones way up by the headers and then 2 regular ones down in the stock place. I replaced all that with a high flow cat h-pipe with only 2 cats and never had a problem. It always passed and the smog guys just look under the car to be sure it's got them, they don't know the difference between a high flow one and the stock one. Also, I never had a problem with only having 2 instead of 4 and a couple times they really checked under the hood good where you could see the 2 smaller ones weren't there. Still passed. I know things are tighter nowasays but when I do the dyno smog check they don't even LOOK under the car or the hood!! They just put it on the rollers and see if it passes. I say if you really want just get some hi flow ones and give it a shot. Maybe put them on and take it to a mechanic and have them scope the motor, see how much the emission output increases. Or have a smog place do a pre-test just to be sure.

    When it comes to cats it doesn't matter if they're 50 state legal or not cause no matter what they're NOT in Ca. Like that guy on the OC said, only thing legal in Cali is the illegals, lol!!
