Default when things say (off-road use only)

"BOMZ Racing stainless steel High flow cat, give your car the maximum performance 10-15 HP gain.(off road use only)"

Those things aren't actually catalytic converters... they're resonators designed to replace the cat... Don't get one of those.

Get a Carsound, JR, or RandomTech cat... those are legal...

Yeah it is illegal to mod your cat in any way shape or form.

It's a liability thing. If they didn't say it and you got in trouble with the law, you might shift the blame to them.

It could be street legal or not, they just put that on there so they dont have to put the time and effort into doing any research and cover their asses... through a pig's eyes tho, anything's illegal thats not factory stock, so go figure...
