Other than that, you'll be doing what everyone else in CA does: swap the stock bits on for smog, then cringe, lift off the throttle, and cross your fingers every time you see a cop.

There are zero CARB EO'd downpipes for Subarus. I'd be all over one. There are issues with replacing a working cat. The only cats that are on the exemption list are universal. A bunch of the EO#s were recinded not too long ago. Cats that go through the exemption process cannot use any wording that implies higher performance like "hi-flow" so that probably keeps the Cobbs of the world out of it.
