California Emissions ARB Catalytic Converter on 1999 Vehicross

Most inspections of the cat consist of a visual inspection using a mirror. I dought they are going to crawl under every car to make sure you have a specific brand/type of cat let slone even knowing what a VX is or what came on it.

If the one on the crashed VX I purchased is good...

...I'll happily do a deal with ya for it.

I'll be around all w/end if you want to check it out...I'm in Pacific Beach.

So, for anyone coming after I do looking to resolve the same issue, yes, the part numbers are identical on the 1999 and later model years, so legally I should be able to replace it with any 2000+ certified part. In theory. I may talk to the smog place to make sure they're amenable before committing to an aftermarket part.
