Everything you read on the internet is true. Including this.

What the OP has stated is true. OEM cats are now required.

There is nothing anywhere stating that OEM cats are required, including the CARB website. Prove it or shut up.

magnaflow is still offering carb-legal cats for CA on their website...

Ok guys - I stand corrected. I called Magnaflow and I guess aftermarket companies do have CA specialized cats.

never once has my smog guy crawled under the car to check. They just do a quick glance

For obd2 this is true. But older cars are fine. I just had to replace an aftermarket e30 cat and took it to a star station that refuses to pass any car that isn't perfect and it passed just fine. That was on Wednesday this week!
