If emission and inspection is an issue, don'tbe afaid to look at Shorties. I run BBK shorties, andyeah, I give up a couple of peak HP to long tubes, but the low end is every bit their equal.

Interesting - have you actually "passed" the emissions test with your long tubes and O/R X pipe?

According to this site (http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/vehsafe.htm) NY requires the OBD-II test on all 96 or newer vehicles. From what I understand this test would be very hard to fake. The testing station hooks a computer to your car and it sends the results along with VIN directly to the state DMV. So what am I missing? Who is that "sombody" you know?

Whether or not a car with long tubes can pass the OBD-II test is a confusing subject. There seems to be lots of mis-information out there. Most tunes will turn off the rear O2s, doesn't this result in an OBD-II "readiness" test failure? I'd like to hear from someone with long tubes andcatted mid-pipe who has actually passed the OBD-II emissions test, without having to "know" sombody.

Haha!! My last car VR6 wagon. Unlike our last rides the Mustang will respond much better to headers than the VR6.

Question for some about headers.. I hear all the same makes coming out as the "best".. what about dynatech? I haven't seen the name posted once.. why is that? What do you guys know that I don't about them? I have dynatech l/t high flow cats, x-piped to magnaflow cats, it sounds bad *** and you could feel the pull from the headers the first time I drove it... just curious.
