CARB legal downpipe
Does anyone make a CARB legal downpipe for the 04 STi?
CARB legal meaning it has an EO#
I know there are a lot of catted downpipes, but best I can tell none of them have official CARB exemption.
Anyone?

Therefore, you cannot legally modify/replace the cats. Even if you replace the cat with a better filtering one, it is still illegal. No one said Cali laws made sense.

The only way at that point anyone would know, is to rip the shields off.

also the tig weld is important so the joint/gasket wont fail down the road. I would more than likely wrap the whole pipe before I bolted on the shields to hide the bright polish.
