Default platinum gasket

Every link on the forum i click on wont work to tell me how to find out if my platinum gasket is blown.

Can i get someone to tell me how to check it, before i go buy the aluminum gasket???

Also i i were to put a edelbrock intake on my truck as long as i transfor everything over from my stock one it should still be legal in the state of CA right?

Well.. your cat has platinum in it. although i believe its a small amount. But thats why they can command a decent price at your local recyclers.

I've seen anti-theft cages for catalytic converters to convince the tweakers to take their cordless cut-off wheels elsewhere. What a world we live in.
