i've never heard of such an incident here about headers, but my sister did get pulled over because of her exhaust on her civic ex, which was actually within the legal limits, so she got that off, or whatever, i don't really know the details, but she had the stock exhaust put back on a while later for some reason or another anyway so whatever.

Any tampering with the OEM emissions system is a federal violation. Here, in the house of CARB, a cop on a bad day can cost you:
1. The ticket he/she writes
2. The cost of the tow
3. Impound fees
4. $2500 fine per omitted catalyst
5. Repair costs
So if you get caught, and they decide to put the full pinch on you, your header can cost you an additional $4000 or (more). Can't say how they play the game in other states, but risk vs. reward here in Cali ain't even close.
