I have reviewed this website and prerunnerparts was the first to advertise Doug Thorley Short tube headers here.
In 2008 ( over 7 years ago)
They were advertised as 50 state legal.

From their own website......
The Shortie Header works great in applications where space is limited, and a Long Tube or Tri-Y header just won’t fit.
Easy installation, more power and better fuel economy make the Shortie a winner.
Street legal in all 50 states (most applications)
Compact design – great for tight spaces
Tough 3/8†flanges and thick wall steel tubing
Compliant with the toughest emission standards
Super easy installation
100% Made in America
Durable ceramic coating
Doug Thorley NEVER tested them! They submitted the paperwork for California but NEVER tested them!
The test cost $5K and now when California is being extra stringent in their air requirements Smog test facilities will not examine any Doug Thorley Headers on our Xterras.
The smog station I just returned from even called Doug Thorley to ask them since the DMV includes paperwork submitted on their response to Doug Thorley part numbers.
When I called they admit to dropping the Ball and point to numerous people changes there.
When asked if they will submit a vehicle with their headers for testing the responded that they don't believe it to be worth the cost of testing(from the sales manager).
Since I cant pass smog testing I will have to remove the DT's and reinstall stock exhaust manifolds.
( ordered from Nissan today,..... yeah who the hell keeps stock manifolds laying about for 7 + years)
For those of you guys in other states that say "not my problem" this is a company that is located in California.
If a company wont take care of the people in their place of business what will they do for you?
