49-state compliant headers?
So I have my whole exhaust planed out, except the headers.
I found these Hedman Headers, 460 88-95 at Bronco Graveyard, but they say the following:

- Not legal for sale or use in California on pollution controlled motor vehicles
- Includes parts necessary to retain emission devices. (49 State).

California has more stringent emissions and smog regulations. Basically, with those headers, you won't be able to get your truck registered or pass inspection. You need 50 state compliant headers, or "CARB" compliant ones.

Pretty much the only difference is that 50 state parts have been tested and proven that emissions characteristics are not altered with the part. The part may not have any effect on emissions, but until it has been tested and given a CARB exemption number, it's evil in California.

See here... Headers - summitracing.com
The Gibson and Thorley products that have the fittings for the AIR injection and EGR are CARB legal.. they're also the most expensive..
