E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway

Here is the deal. As you are in California, same as I am, those off Ebay will not pass visual inspection. Period! You must use OBDII California approved cats only to pass visual. They are stampled as such unless OEM.

Now, I do have Thunderbolt 200cel cats on my car and so far no CEL, however I also have 'smog shops' I can visit that only do a sniffer and cursory visual.
