yea I think im going to go with a MRT H pipe, but they sound so good, but are so expensive does anyone know of any other H pipe companies that produce that nice sound and hold up well , i have a bassani catback, and I live in Somerset County and we are like Talbot we only have to get emissions to pass when we sell the vehicle that sucks man MD should just allow all counties the same rules and regulations

I believe it is illegal to remove cats from a car that is being operated on the street regardless of whether or not your state does emisions testing. And I believe it is illegal to even install high flow cats on a vehicle with less than 50,000 miles if there is nothing wrong with them (I think its a federal offense but I'm not sure)...I'd say get the O/R X or H pipe, buy high flow cats, gut them out, and then have them installed...that way no one will know that you have no cats because the shells will be there (just in case)...some states can impound your car if they catch you on the road with no cats...
