You can remove the rear Cats in a 4 Cat system and pass smog in CA.
I just did that last November.

I installed the Top Speed Muffler and rear Cat delete pipes under $500 new, plus you can sell the rear cats and recoup perhaps $100 or so of that as well.

Its an easy DIY install as well.

OEM

Like some others said though, you could easily find good used parts on ebay and Woody (Itsnotanova "Dismantler") to do the whole job for under $500 for OEM used parts.

Ahhh - that is immensely useful, mostly because i keep seeing these aftermarket exhausts and wondering why they are bare pipes at the end - thinking they are a weld-in affair, which i'm sure the dealership would rather avoid - but that makes much more sense.


On a similar note, i am looking for the PSE exhaust if it is available, mostly because its OEM and the dealer will likely be doing the install and i wont be there to fend off any gripes. I got a quote from a dealer saying it would have to come from germany with a ticket of over $3300 - is there anybody who retails/stocks them independently in the US?

Otherwise I think I am likely leaning towards the Dansk exhaust as it is quietest/closest to stock but with a little bit of growl.
