Here is my post from back in March '00......................
The Cali emissions come on all mid-atlantic/ North east state trucks,
they call it "LEV" Low emission Vehicles.. The part numbers for the 4.7L
Y-pipes are as follows:
52103254AB for the NON LEV y pipe
52103527AB for the LEV y pipe
I forgot what the guy told me as far as pricing but it was a ridiculous
price!
After my Dyno run I realized the HP loss from the LEV Y-pipe compared to NON
LEV pipe is very minimal at best, So the conversion to the NON LEV Y-pipe is
not worth it in MHO, however, There is room for flow improvement in the
Y-pipe area with a custom Y-pipe! Anyone tried this already??

Can you take them off, not sure, RI has stepped up the emmisions testing
abit. But you can order the downpipe with out the two cats, it's the
downpipe for the non CA emissions states. There was a post on it awhile
back, with the part numbers..
