well i dont know you state laws but, yes they can tell by the smell. the machine on the side tells which car is running incorrectly. since your putting more carbon monoxide[or whatever]into the air. i guess ppl do it in your state. i do know that your state is STRICT when it comes to pollution. ask around for the ppl in your state.
i would find out more info then do it or not do it.i wouldnt want my car impounded for no reason. i have a offroad pipe. and my state requires cats but i know of someone who helps me out for inspection time. but for somereason a state trooper decides to look im screwed but the likely hood of that happen slim to none. i dont drive my stang that much i have other rides to do that. my stang is for enjoyment and racing duty. and i try to stay under the 5000 mile mark. so i can be emissions exempt. so i dont get measured i jsut get a sticker.

Well I guess thats good and bad for me. It just doesn't seem likely for a cop to pull me over and decide to check out my pipes... I don't think I'd mind swapping this exhaust out when I smog either, it only takes a couple hours to do so. Ive got a buddy who would probably get me passed but I'd rather just do that swap I think...</P>
Thanks for you help ohsoquick I appreciate it. I think Ill go with the o/r X-pipe unless someone here proves it to me to be REALLY REALLY be unwise..</P>
BTW, if you have anything else to add you can think of please do, I apprciate the help</P>

no problem. that is what were here for. i would of bought a x pipe i heard the sound is different. but since i got my setup off a parts car that i bought. and my headers came on my car already that is the reason i have my current set up. the only problem i have heard with the xpipe is there is no adjustment in it unlike the hpipe which can be spread wider or narrower. and i think the xpipe has clearence issues sometimes. like when you install a different tranny like a tremec and etc.
