B (mid) pipe questions. Info please

I am going to sell my 2000 SE and wan't to put it back as close to stock as possible.

Is there a difference in mid pipes between Cali & Fed spec?
I looked up some OE exhaust places and the muffler is the same but some have different mid pipes.

Thanks, Mike

the oem fed spec b pipe will have an o2 bung in the beginning of the pipe right behind where the main cat is. the cali spec does not have o2 sensors post main cat. the dimensions should be the same except for this difference.

Thanks for the info.
With that said you would think the Fed spec would cost more for the bung. But it's cheaper.

I repalced my cat back awhile ago with stock parts, and at the auto store, some parts said fed spec and they didn't offer cali, so I bit the bullet (i'm cali spec) and ordered them. The b-pipe did not have a hole it in and bolted up perfectly. The rear section does have a small tone, nothing I can't live without, almost sounds a little throatier. I dont want to garuntee anything for you though.
