Default CA Smog Laws

I just called up the guy who installed my Flowmaster 40 muffler, to get an estimate on converting my truck to a true dual exhaust. He told me that it was illegal to take a vehicle that comes stock where the heads come into a single pipe, cut the Y off and make them two separate pipes. Sooooo I can't make my truck a true dual

Take it to an independant muffler shop, you won't be able to pay by credit, and you won't get a receipt...

But they CAN do it. :-)

Or, just have him make an X pipe for it.
