Howdy from Tennessee, I'm Chris aka Moose. Who am I helping today? I'm glad you've come here to get help. I will do my best to get the answer you are looking for. I help many customers, so sometimes my replies are delayed, I will respond once available. I try to be online at 1-5 pm and 10 pm-5 am every day. The bad news answer is yes. They have the be California compatible or you will fail an emissions test in one or both ways. A visual inspection or through the emissions test they do on the tailpipe. The CARB compliant ones clean the exhaust much more than the other 48 states. Thank you for seeking us for help, I hope I provided what was needed. Press reply if you need to follow up. If you liked my answer please let me know so I can mark your question complete. Moose

I appreciate your response Moose! Thanks for the helpHave a good night
