California Exhaust

Ok. This might be a stupid question but, I am having trouble finding reliable information about exhaust systems in California. I searched the forums and couldn't seem to find anything. Here's the deal, I want an new turboback exhaust that is legal where I live good'ol Cali but, I don't know what's out there. Any help would be much appreciated.

any Downpipe and a fujitsubo FM01A (this catback is super quiet)

or you can go to RRE and get their stealth TBE, which is also super quiet and sleeper

i have the rsr ex mag, which is rare but it's a little louder than stock. i havent run it with aftermarket cat and dp but on stock cat, it' idles like stock but it's deeper than stock when driving.

any catback exhaust that doesnt have an 02 sensor as part of the exhaust is emmissions legal in cali. there is also a noise limit also.

as far as downpipes, it has to have a CARB executive order # to be emissions legal. test pipes are obviously illegal. and basically you cant change or modify the factory cat.

I am looking for turboback Unless everyone seems to think its not worth it and catback will give me the same performance (or close to it). Are there any complete exhaust systems that are legal in CA? Also I am not much for flashy or loud exhausts I want it where it counts performance .


was this the exhaust you were talking about ?

works is one of the expensive brands you can get
