yeah they go out after a while i heard. just get a tuner....O/R SOUNDS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!
You mean like the SCT or the Diablo tuner? I've heard a little bit about these, what exactly do they do? Just change fuel parameters, timing, and control the computer (to eliminate check engine light)?

Not to mention I'm moving to a county that doesn't do emissions testing

I DON'T! lol, so I'd have to pay for the o/r pipe itself and then spend another $400 just so the check engine light won't come on? Jeez, I might as well get a catted pipe then.

Ok, they're easy to install. I'm sure a child can do it. If you can't, I'm sure you have a buddy who knows how to cut a couple of wires and twist them together. It sure beats the $400 for the programmer if that's all you're going to use it for.

The programmer will be able to give you more power. You will also be able to get a tune on your car. Id go for the tuner. Get the SCT Excal 2. Im gettin one prolly this week. I should of gotten one sooner.

o/r pipes sound so much better and are alot cheaper, also you can pass emissions with the o/r pipe IF and i stress IF your check engine light isnt on and they dont look underneath the car, i did. but i knew they could smell my exhaust .

Quick tip for ya that I just thought of. If you disconnect ur battery for a little while RIGHT before you take your car to be inspected the CEL will NOT be on. THe ECU resets itself and has not ran its diagnostic to see if the cats are working. Mine stays off for about 30 miles when I do this.
