theirs no emissions here where I live, its great. you may "pass" if all they do is hook a scanner to your diagnostic port - as do many emissions testing facilities on newer vehicles. If their is a sniffer - you may still pass if you have cats. If there is a visual, you will fail.
being able to pass emissions and emissions legal are different things.

Actually guys i (as well as 5.0 magazine) dont have a problem with the shorties. In the MAY 2004 edition on page 83, they put a stang on the dyno and results follow
Shortie unequal 1&5/8in longtube
318hp@4900 316hp@4100
310ft/lbs@5400 304ft/lbs@4400
More HP for less money? why not?

Wow, did you read the post above yours?
LT's = NO PASSING EMISSIONS
At least in Va.. ST'S = TEH WIN!

I feel really sorry for you guys. I live in West Tennessee, and i have never been through or heard of an emissions test. 4x4s with straight pipes roam free without a care. The cops will pull you over for speeding, and not say one word about it.
