Ford_Dude: I just went Sunday. The weather was good and the track was prepped well but there were a ton of cars there. Still had a blast. That was only my 2nd time to so since I got my car (May 2006).

jerjan: From what i've seen, the short tubes only give 5 or so hp to the wheels. I would guess there would be no change in exhaust sound since it's not a drastic change from stock but i could be wrong.

Hey, another Houstonian here. Is HRP only open to the public on Friday,s? This is what I read on thewebsite.

I have had the pleasure of being ticketed for BOTH loud exhaust AND for Jaywalking (NYC area, long ago). Though....not at the same time.

If I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all.

Wow, that is indeed bad luck!

Though, loud exhaust is quite different than headers. If your car has loud exhaust, it is instantly obvious. A cop doesn't even have to get out of his car to tell your exhaust is loud. However, headers are something that cannot be seen or heard without serious effort. To get busted for headers you'd have to be pulled over for some other reason FIRST. Then, he'd have to look under your hood AND recognize what he sees as illegal...if he even notices the headers at all.

Looks like we got ourselves a lot of locals "Messin with Texas" by modding their Mustangs! Wish I could too, but I have to pass the stupid Harris County sniff test.

bchataroo: HRP is open to the public on Friday and Sunday as well as bracket racing on certain days during the week.

Interesting about Texas since I'll end up there eventually. When I had my CJ8 Jeep in Phoenix, I replaced the engine and of course exhaust. First thing that went was all the emission crap. We had property up north, so I went there, dug a whole, and planted a mailbox. Went to the Post Office and established an address. Registered my Jeep there since they didn't have emissions testing.

I keep my car registered in a non emissions county even though it is a long drive (90 miles).

I claim it as my primary resesence. (I am a Contract Design Engineer)
