From your post, I cannot tell what state you live in. I can tell you that I have installed Fabspeed mufflers and cats and that they have been deemed 'illegal' in the state of CA by CARB (the state air quality folks) because they do not come with stickers certifying that they are CARB compliant and Fabspeed has not been helpful at all in providing info on their site, or in prior conversations, to help me.
So, good parts, bad support. I now have to remove all of the parts due to lack of support.
If I am incorrect in any of this, and there is a well-known fix for all of these issues, please let me know.

33. Emissions legal in USA and World emissions legality?
Answer> Fabspeed exhaust systems designed for street application are designed to comply with emission and warranty. You will have no problem passing emission tests. However, certain Fabspeed products are for “off road racing use only” and not emission complaint. Sports race catalytic converters with 200 cells and catbypass pipes and certain other parts may not be approved or certified for your region or state. Please check with your local laws and regulations.
I wouldn't characterize this as bad support or lack of support by Fabspeed. CARB certification is expensive.

Not having had the phone conversations with representatives from Fabspeed, perhaps you would not characterize their support as bad or duplicitous but I beg to differ. It has been a complete disappointment.
Again, potential buyers beware. Not a company I would or will deal with again.
