I am running an O/R prochamber;however, I did order maganflow high cats last week. I hope they arrive soon. Driving with an O/R prochamber with magnpacks sounds awesome, but I don't think it would be worth it if I got caught.

Its more than just an inspection. You would have to go to a state certified referee, and pay that cost too.
