Default Shorty Headers question.

Are the BBk ANd JBA Shorty Headers 50 state legal? Im thinking about getting them. Which one would be better to get? I was just wondering becasue even though on some websites it says they can be 50 state legal, others dont say it and i just need someone to confirm that they are legal. Thanks.

LT's are the one's that can give you trouble with emissions!

Don't spend a lot of money on shorties. Find a good deal on a used set or somthing if you can. You will only see 4-5rwhp and slight deepness in exhaust tone. Not really worth $300 less you gotta money to kill.

i know JBA are C.A.R.B. Legal n what not since they are in California probably just a bit south from me... but im not sure if BBK is or not. but like everyone is saying, find a used set if you really want headers since shorties dont do very much for how much it cost.

Yeah true, I mean, even though they dont do much, it still would be nice to have instead of those stock ones i got. I'll see if I can find someused ones, though I dont really mind spending the cash for new ones.
