2 extra 02 sensors, you get to get a cali-spec y pipe which won't give you as much increased power as the fed specs do, you get a swirl canister, lots of extra emissions crap to break, and if you're an auto, you have the slowest 4th gen ever.

eh who cares, damn it!!!

Still kicking a couple of HONDA @$$ES!!! AutoFabulous CaliSpec w/ Intake!!!

Bottom line is, we have what we have, i here its not worth doing a Cali => Fed spec conversion, so I'll just be happy with what I have!

all 95-98s are fed spec and use the same Y pipe, only some 99s are cali spec and it's definitely not worth doing a conversion.

How much HP gain can i expect w/ a cali-spec y-pipe? I also don't want to order the wrong kind of y-pipe, is there another way to ensure i have a cali-spec?
