California Spec...Pros/Cons?

'98

Just checked my data tag and found I have A Cali spec. I was surprised that it was cause it was "raised" on the eastcoast...
Per the org.s FAQ's....my 12th charactor is "V". Do they have additional o2 sensors? Maybe the y-pipe I won off ebay yesterday will not fit....

your car will have the need to surf and go to rock conerts and call everyone else "shoobies"

You might have to get a cali-spec y-pipe....they ask you that when you order from budget...i've heard....

I don't believe there are any more O2 sensors, I just think the exhaust has more restrictions, more precats...

but i could be wrong..

4 O2 sensors on the cali max, plus the opening from the front side header is HUGE to fit the SECOND precat, a fed spec y-pipe wouldnt fit if you tried. If it's not a cali-spec y-pipe it aint gon fit.

I bought mine in CT and it is Cali specs with 4 sensors instead of 2 from Fed. I was saving up for a Y pipe but it seems like only one precat is removed of instead 2 precats removed for Fed espec; so I think that it means won't get to much hp gainsas the Cali cars get, but not sure, so probably Y pipe will be just another waste of money for me. Can someone post the cons of having Cali specs?
