    OK. I know these are not street legal. And I live in a deq required area, but I m betting there s a way these can be installed, along with the cats, and make it all pass deq. Is this wishfull thinking?

    Maybe weld cats back in? That’s what I did to pass emissions inspections and to not get a CEL for the O2 sensor.

    I’m assuming you mean the LT version. If so I guess technically you could have cats welded into that collector pipe. Run rear cats as per usual or in a mid pipe.

    So you are saying 2 sets of cats? You don t think a single set of cats would do the job? I guess I don t understand your post.

    Tundra has 4 cats total, doesn’t it? I thought your goal was to appear to be street legal.

    If you have a capable exhaust shop near by, they can weld in the factory cats as mid-pipes.

    I only had 1 per side welded back in. If you have to get it visually inspected too, no one will know the difference.
