Rockauto appears to have 2 different sets of CATs for it. One set is C. A. R. B. and the other isn't. They lower prices ones are made by Eastern. Since I don't live in CA, do I need to still bolt on the C. A. R. B. units? Will it cause problems if I get the non-CA compliant? They cost quite a bit more. I plan on buying the Denso sensor since the rear worked out good. Thanks!

You do not need the CARB cats unless you are planning to smog your vehicle in CA. You run just about any cat that will fit/weld in place without a CARB certification.

CARB cats do not have different pipes only a CARB Executive order stamped/etched certification on the cat and a (California) premium price that is required by the smog technician to input for smog.

I replaced my cats with Magnaflow CARB certified and verified with MF that there is no difference in build other that the certification. Hope this helps.
