Default Emissions

For me just to even think about headers I need to know if I could do mid length? I know I cant do LT because of emissions. So would it be worth it to do midlengths? And how much in total would I be looking at spending?

I dont see why you couldnt do LT's. You can get catted mid pipes for LT's.

Mids and LT's are illegal so it depends on where you live and how they do inspection. I would fail for them in NJ so i went with shorty's.

No. I have the same problem. I live in Los Angeles. Lucky for me, I have 11 months left until my next smog check. You better belive, I will swap them out for smog, and right back in afterwards. I love my LT's.
