im sure it is, but from what i gather about my traction on the street VS the track, i wouldnt bother unless you like sideways with lots of smoke and loseing to a honda at a light lol.

havnt put drs on yet. im sure it will help, but still id learn how to drift so that when your car goes sideways at 60+ you stand a small chance of not destroying it lol. Thats what i had to do, rainy state its saved my *** more than once knowing how to recover. its little insurance but better than not know i say. let me know how they stick on the street.

Agreed!!! It's probably like exhaust... long tubes, no cats, etc. Just be selective, and the fuzz won't select you! lol. (i've never heard anyone getting nailed for this).

I'm not 100% sure, but i think it's only illegal if the bottle is open. In that case put the bottle behind the seat or buy a remote bottle opener, but i really wouldn't worry about it.

I'm sure it varries from state to state, but I've heard pretty much the same thing about the bottle being open to be considered illegal.

its illegal in some states to even have a bottle in the car, others its illegal to have it hooked up to the engine. OP you will have to check with your state to find out the laws about it there, it varies from state to state just like window tinting laws.
