Why are you looking for OEM cats?

The shop that installed my longtube broke the old cats and I'm going to be trading in for a trx so I'm reverting it back to stock ☠️ or trying to prior to trade in

I don’t think it’s worth it to convert back to stock. The value of the vehicle will be the same

Maybe see if you can find someone local that will swap you

it must not be every state (im in Arizona) but i have traded in a car and a truck in the past 8 months for new. Also know 2 others who have traded in trucks as well and same. They did NOT check out anything like that. My last truck before trade in was modified. Has all the wires running for two 12 inch subs, they didnt care or check, i had a exhaust and resonator delete they didnt even turn on the truck or care, had muti color LED footwell lights and nothing, windsheild and windows were limo all around and nothing.
what im getting at is i believe @theblet is right, i dont think they are going to care at all nor will it change the value on the trade in for long tube headers of all things. Shoot if anything another buyer will think OH COOL NO BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR BOLTS! i know i would

Did your long tubes come with cats, or did you go without? If the are catted, I agree with others who say just roll with it. If they aren't and you live in a state where they do inspections, I guess I could see why you would want them.

I’d roll with it either way. Isn’t worth the trouble

I was trying to see if its worth selling the longtube, the longtube was kooks greencats so the cats are there.

But you guys are right, i do not believe they inspect, im going to be buying out of VA and i spoke with the sale person today and they said as long as theres cats it doesnt matter.
