107k miles.
Yes there are 49 state aftermarket cats of varying quality. There appears even to be a 50 state for an earlier model. I have a friend in AZ I could have it shipped to and have him forward to me if necessary. If it looked basically identical and functioned, I don't think any tech down the line would be alerted to any formal non-compliance issue. I'm going to pull the cat tonight and take a look inside and see if there is any obvious destruction.

the primary problem with the cat is that there isn't one... It's just an empty can.

Well, there's your problem....
And that might explain the muffler noise .... that cat material went somewhere!

I'm thinking they might have rednecked something. It's perfectly clean. Anyway, now what? Are there CARB legal cats for this thing in the few hundred dollar range? If so then I soldier on but if not may be time to punt. Mmmm.

From all my looking I cant find a carb legal cat for that car. Just get a 49 state cat and get it smoged right away.

I would think that you can get an OEM cat that will still work but newer vehicles don't need the sniffer test anymore: http://www.check-smog.com/check-smog...-Vehicles.aspx

Fucking CA, I swear. Magnaflow has one built to OEM ODBII CALIFONRIA Standards (!) but it's technically only 49 state legal. (This has to do with the racket run by the local mafia known as the state government.) And yes, really, the OE is $1,800. . .
Anyway, part no.: 49352

The STAR program is already going, the Typhoon falls under that category. That was earlier this year too. I'd just get the Magnaflow one and go to the same smog shop I went to over by Costco.

Sounds good. Do they poke around under the hood at all, or just plug in?
