Yes, its cali emissions. You can remove it, but to entirely remove the system, you have to go as far as swapping the rear exhaust manifold. There isn't anything wrong with keeping it, so I'd just leave it alone.

dkc, unfortunately you can't remove it in our area. As you know we have ECheck and the scanner they use will detect it's been removed. I'm pretty sure removing it will trigger a CEL.
