    not likely as the "header" on our trucks has the main catalytic converter on it and you must use CARB approved (OEM only) cats and i dont know of any aftermarket companies that make a performance header with a carb approved cat.

    Some
    Doug thorley short tubes or JBA. Are your only options. You have to cut your stock manifold off and weld on header to stock cats. Your best bet is to go with long tube headers and get the urd o2 sensor simulator and swap them out every 2 years

    Interesting. Thanks. I’m not opposed to having the stock cats welded on. Just want to be sure it’ll smog.
