SOLO high flow cats and CA testing - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I understand that the SOLO high flow cats are not CARB certified and will therefor fail the visual inspection portion of the test in CA. I would like to purchase these and I am wondering what others from CA, I live in San Diego, are doing to get around this.

Also, are there any other options that use a CARB certified high flow cat?

Thanks in advance.

2013 V6 LFX. I have a CAI cold air intake, ported throttle body, MRT v2 exhaust, and Vitesse throttle controller

Not legal, unless you pay the tech under the table GL with that.

Skullrx3,

Thank you, I might take you up on your offer, just debating if I want to take them off and put them back on every inspection. How much do you want for them?
