There are none. You should be able to find a cracked stocker and have it welded. Should be under $100 to have the weld done correctly for cast iron.

Thanks for the reply .. i figured, i looked at the carb web page for OE numbers for an exhaust system but nothing for an ae86.. i guess ill wait for a seller . Thanks by the way

when I went to the Cali smog referee for a 4ag swap in my sr5, I had a hks sport installed. he didn't say anything about it.

You got lucky

What the heck .. cali . Sucks for smog stuff... im thinking on just using my car for having fun on track and thats it.. theres a bunch of aftermarket/racing parts but all discontinued at the dealership . I been struggling trying to find parts. Might as well just use it for fun and enjoy the car

the guy was super-anal.
and i failed 3 times, so i went to the ref a total of 4 times.
i smogged my car a couple of times since then and no one said anything. both star places.
so i must be more than lucky.

If you have anything other than the stock manifold, downpipe and cat, you've been lucky. You might get lucky and find a tech that can't be bothered to check if you have a CARB approved cat, since it's a hassle to get under there, though. Anything after the cat doesn't matter as far as smog goes.
