He will not be fine in CA if he shows up at the SMOG ref with no CATS! He will not pass the visual inspection which is the main thing they do at the Ref station. So is the Dinan exhaust catless or do you have a Dinan catback exhaust? Most of Dinan's products are 50 state legal meaning they have a CARB cert and number. Any part that has the CARB cert is OK and you do not need to remove it for the SMOG ref. If you removed the cats or changed the downpipes to catless, those parts need to be changed back to stock - same goes for any intake, diverter valves, intercooler etc.
