the gains in Longtubes are more Torque than hp... and can't you get emissions legal long tubes? with a shorty catted x or h? X or H is just personal preference, Longtubes ftw, Mac is a good brand if you aren't looking to spend $1000 on LTs and a short pipe.

nope, but for the same TeChNiCaL reason why my high flow catted x-pipe illegal, your tampering with the oem location of the cats.

it will fail the visual test they do on the smog, at least when you look under my car now (from the side, not on a lift) you see the cats, the second oem set are located where you cant really see anyways, so it LOOKS stock.

however, you have a giant collector sitting there...... it'll fail the visual.

I say SCREW IT!!!! GO LONGTUBES!!!!
