Looking good!
Just spoke to the Magnaflow technical support and the Catted X Pipe 93335 is not CARB Legal for use in California. No certification means no EO number stamped on the Catalytic Converters. The "ceramic bricks" that are in the casing is dipped in a chemical that cleans/filters for a specific emissions amount. 93335 meets the "federal requirement" however CA requires a higher concentration on the "ceramic brick" to be applied. According to Magnaflow the CA version X Pipe PN 93335 has been submitted but no certification has been issued to Magnaflow. Even if I purchased with no EO stamped:mad2: I would have to swap the X Pipe out every 2 years....:censor:
After months of reading Glenn's Shorty threads/posts the time has comeI finally pulled the trigger and bought a set of FRPP Shorty headers M-9430-E465 for $239.

Now looking for the EGR adapter; where can I get one? PN#?
I am looking to fix my tune and baseline prior to installing so hopefully be able to post some results on a 5.3L.
Cheers!
CA is definatly a bit harsh in the laws with the emission set up's that is for sure!
