I finally got an update on this from my guy at DT and I'm now being told as of last week it could be up to a year from now. Yes, I'm not happy about this as I was told originally it was to be much quicker.

Yes but the costs that the carb dept wants I'm told tripled and it's not something they are going to be doing right now. It's possible it could be up to a year. If you call someone else selling DT headers and they tell you 2 months, they aren't telling the truth and just want to get your order. THis is right from the Big Wigs at DT. Now, I do have people in your state that have gotten this to pass. You can call or text me at 717-319-2100 and I can do into more detail.

I considered getting the DT y-pipe and then getting good cats to replace the resonators on their part. Essentially just using their y-pipe as a starting point for fabrication. That would have ended up cheaper actually.

I have an account with Magnaflow for anyone that wants one of their replacement Y pipes... I've had discussions with DT about their Y pipe and they did tell me the resonators don't effect flow to any noticeable degree. The resonators are there to keep drone down inside the cabin and have very light fiberglass material inside which does this, like a super super high flow cat kinda with little to no change in performance. I've also gotten feedback from customers and DT that in states that need cats, the resonators made inspections easier when cats are needed. Again, I'm guess that depends on the state you are in and how thorough/picky the techs are looking at this stuff in states where you need cats.
Also, regarding cutting out the resonators for people that need cats, there is a super small magnaflow cat I have that will fit in there that's much slimmer and smaller than the factory cats (I have em for only $79 each) so heat wouldn't be an issue. I have some installed pics but I'll have to dig to try and find them. If I do, will edit this post.
Also, my PM's on here fill up asap, so if anyone has further questions, please call or text the number above. Don't PM, lol as you can see below
