You'll probably have to have a shop weld some cats in. Reinstalling the stock exhaust every time you have to go for emissions seems a little ridiculous to me, but hey, you could do it..

RE: Side pipes

personally i dont find it rediculous. 30 minutes to put in the factory H and another 30 to pull it out. 1 hour of work every 2 years is nothing in my book
