    RRM did make a PZEV header set to bypass the PZEV cat. however, i no longer see it on their site. you can ask them and see if they still have a few but there's no guarantee. if you did use a header setup like the FED spec RRM or DC SPORT, you will face the problem of running into a CEL code due to the absence of your cat. I've been looking into this issue myself but I'm more than likely going to be going with the DC SPORT headers and exhaust setup and say fvck the CEL.

    PZEV stands for partial zero emissions vehicle. PZEV is required in a lot of states and it mainly based on California standards. For our vehicles we have two catalytic converters one of which is embedded into the headers

    so in the process of lowering emissions they basically slapped two cats on the car?

    This PZEV issue has been the bane in the existence of many Lancer owners including myself. I agree with BlueDevilLancer DC sports FTW
