You must live in california, huh?

 

 

 

I am not familiar with how strict PA's emissions laws are.

 

Some states have a pretty loose inspection where they just want to make sure there are no check engine lights an everything is in order. Some might want you to pass a sniffer test and some will want all orginal/ CARB approved parts etc....

 

Exhausts don't typically come with cats. They're usually called "cat back" exhaust systems because they replace everything behind/after the cat. You utilize your stock cat or test pipe or whatever. So, you will need to figure out the cat situation yourself. You can buy a magnaflow replacement cat and have an exhaust shop weld it up to your system, then pair it with any off the shelf exhaust you end up going with.

 

 

Depends on your budget. Be careful buying a used OEM cat--most of them are no good anymore since they're so old. I took a gamble on an OEM cat that "looked" ok, but it only lasted a month before it went bad and gave me a CEL. If you have the budget, i would just buy a new magnaflow cat on eBay and have an exhaust shop weld it up for you. They can even put it in your existing system so you don't have to buy an entirely new exhaust system--they will just cut out the area that your cat is supposed to be in and weld the magnaflow cat in. Make sure it's the correct magnaflow cat that is smog legal for your state though--go to Magnaflow's website to get the correct p/n and then buy it on eBay.
