BBK X-Pipe w/Cats for 98 Cobra

[Gr8Stang]

Looking at buying this: https://lmr.com/item/BBK-1618/96-98-...Shorty-Headers

Wondering if I'll be faced with any emissions issues, either getting the car etested or when I go to certify/sell. Though the part has cats....it only has 2 vs. stock which has 4. Says these are not legal for California.....

I plan on picking this up state side and bringing back home and then getting it installed by a local muffler shop.

Dasilva appears to sell the same part, so it seems like it shouldn't been an issue....at least getting them across the border.

I think you will be ok with just the two cats.
I removed my stock 4 catted H pipe off my cobra last year, and installed a catted X pipe.
However, it’s not due to be e-tested this year.
If you want to save a ton of coin, it will be coming off the car in the next couple of weeks when longtubes go on.
Also, installing the X pipe was fairly straight forward and I did it in about an hour on my own.

Cats do look to be positioned a long way back.

Would that catted X pipe fit on a 1996 GT, how much are you asking for it.

Yes, this will fit your GT.
