do you live in CA or something? i dont think long tubes will fail you in the emissions test, if you have a catted mid pipe.

Ya I do, and if the state makes you go to like a state testing, your screwed. Iv'e heard of this one dude that had to go to one of those, and they failed him for havin a cold air intake/ bassani x pipe with cats. Theytold him it was cause it was aftermarket. f'd up huh? When I have to go to pass I take everything off and set my programmer back to stock, I also bring it in there really hot. (warmed up) So what do you think about the longtubes? It would really complete my package of mods. Or should I get those bbk equal lengths. Those look good. I would of got those on my 5.0 but it wasn't worth like 3-4 more hp when you can't change some of the spark plugs, compared to just unequal length shorties. Thanks for the info

I guess it won't hurt to try and pass smog with the longtubes. I will just ask stupid and tell them I just bought the car off my buddy and he has the original headers. (if I fail) So they don't send me to a state testing. I already have to put my stock h-pipe on when i go, so I might as well take the long tubes off and the pro-chamber. That day is going to suck ***! LoL

Where do you live @ nomo? Also what about this, back to 3 & 4 valve. What if I buy later on down the road, the 4 valve package (heads,computer,etc) and find the ford stock roots type blower on ebay? Someone that is selling it cause their 03 cobra isn't enough, so they get a kenne bell. Will all that work with my two cams? Or am I just in cheap dream land again? Or should I just shut the f up, leave my car how it is, and buy a vortech?

I know I want to, but none of my upgrades will really even if fit on that motor, will they? How much do those motors w/ tranny cost when you see them? I might just keep all my parts for another mustang.
