Subject:What is up with California and aftermarket Catalytic Converters for the Vanagon?
From:Ken Wilford

Can anyone explain to me what is up with California and the Vanagon
Catalytic Converter?  I have been on the CARB site and doing some
looking but really the whole thing doesn't make much sense to me.  I
want to be able to supply direct fit catalytic converters to folks but
there are only certain suppliers that are CARB approved.  The website
says stuff about earlier cars meeting OBD II standards for Cats and that
is just idiotic because these vehicles were designed way before OBD II
was even thought of.  How can they ever be brought up to that standard
and how is a Cat with a magical number stamped on it going to accomplish
this?  Any one who has recently replaced theirs would be a big help with
this one.
