First off I do not even think they can sell such a "cat-pipe" in California or ship to a California address. You are stuck with OE catalytic converters. At least that is my understanding. You can fail a emissions test by have non Cali approved catalytic converters on the car.
I would disagree with Bullitt347. There are 50 state approved high flow cats available. Where in Cali are you located? A reputable exhaust shop in California should be able to help you out. At least with giving you some information and possibly even a quote.
Well Ive seen them sold at LRS and they say emissions legal. And LRS will tell you if you they can't send them to california. But I noticed only two converters and not four is this because they are high flow?

All auto parts that affect emissions will have a California Clean Air Board sticker & number if they are not OEM equipment. If the sticker & number are real and not fake, they are legal to use and you can pass the visual emissions test with them. Always ask about the CARB sticker number and check it against information available from the California Clean Air Board. Google California Clean Air Board to get a web address and more information.

Summary:
A "50 state legal *cat*" means SH*T!!!!!!!!
It's the COMPLETE emission SYSTEM that Calf (and other States) care about.
So, you REQUIRE FOUR CATS IN THE SAME EXACT LOCATION WITH THE SAME (or tested to pass) EXHAUST PIPE DIAMETER.
ANYTHING ELSE EFFECTS SMOG, especially cold start - PERIOD!!!
This has been gone over a zillion times. Unfortunately, people that do not know the smog laws, or the real Calf smog laws keep posting incorrect info.
Now, does that mean that every Calf inspection station, and every inspector, does things 100% to the State law and properly checks everything - DUH NO!! But, you can bet that ~99+% do it correctly.
So, some people get lucky in Calf with incorrect setups.
Some people also win the lottery.
You can empty your bank account and buy lottery tickets, and you can hope you pass Calf with an obvious illegal mod (like a cat). IMHO, both are stupid.
