Best Exhaust For Emission Restricted States
I really want a MAC pro chamber, but I need to be able to pass a smog test. Was just wondering what the best sound/performance option would be that would still pass smog? I like the raspier sounding exhausts like Mac and Flowmaster. Was looking at the Mac catback system from American Muscle.

Replacing non broken cats in cali are illegal in cali, also the refs will check for 4 cats in an h config.

Yeah, I was actually thinking about just doing axle back since the GTs are already setup with a pretty good exhaust system. Get some Borla S-Type mufflers and some nice 2.5" or 3" chrome tips.

Some people get too hung up on exhaust modification. There are dozens of other ways to make power. I'm only running a cat back and am just fine with it. In any state (checked or not), it's illegal to remove the pollution control.

you should pass smog with any catback with the stock midpipes. If you are in California it is a bit iffier, if you get pulled for visual you need to explain why your catback is different from stock. Also catted midpipes can pass in california, but just barely, I barely passed by .04 ppm's.

Why would one need to explain the additon of a catback? should i not get a cat back because of cali laws?

[rant]The way I see it is, if it passes the sniffer and is not obnoxiously loud, I don't see the reason why our tax dollars are going towards someone that does nothing but looks to see if you have aftermarket parts that has not spent the time/money to go through carb certification. Would like to see some of that cash go towards school or repaving the roads, was so happy a few months back with the budget crisis and carb closing down for awhile, only to have them reopen and lower the threshold for smog.
