I believe that none of them are legal.

A friend of mine has a RB header on an '84 GSL-se. With all emissons components on the engine, including high flow cat, it passed. Which was 2 months ago.

As long as you have ALL the emission components covered...then you should not have any probs. (change your plugs and oil prior...just as a pre-caution).

Exactly.....

Be sure and get the RB Header modified by Mazdatrix for the Actuators. Thats what I did based on advise FROM my friends at RB.

You should be ok, except you might run into a problem if you get sent to a Test Only center. Those guys can get pretty **** about simple mod's.
