Headers or Test pipes or both with stock exhaust?

Tempestz

you won't pass inspection with test pipes unless you know someone… always helps to know someone…

"we're in commie CA"

So freakin sad. The most beautiful state in the country ruined by A holes.....

You can't even get 93 octane

Hey, they can impose laws, you just don't have to follow them. It's easy, lol

And 93 octane is due to too many people having nice cars. Blame those a-holes, lol

Agreed about commie Cali, but the guy that said he was trying to pass inspection is in New York… Isn't new york just as bad on SMOG? I could be wrong. but yeah if I were in Dubai, Id go all out with the no SMOG rules

"guns for sure"

Not really. It's only in the N.Y.C that there's a problem. I can carry anywhere in the state, even with my fingerprints at the FBI & with a serious mental condition.

As long as you're white, there's no problem

We get connected to Albany by a computer. The tuners here make sure there's no problems.

A month ago I put a 3:90 350z gear pumpkin into my new 370z. Even with the engine light on from censors reading the front wheels spinning not matching the rear wheels, the service guy told the mechanic, "just pass him" .
I could never survive in Cal......

Awesome! i was unsure of how they did it in New york. thats one state i have not had the privilege of being able to live in yet.

get PPE equal length headers, they have better gains than FI LTH iirc


lol cali isnt that bad, get a mailbox outside of smog zones and register your car and change your address there than set up mail forwarding from your new address to your home address

preferably dont get a PO box, get a UPS or Fedex box since it says the address of the store followed by your mailbox number so it looks like an apartment at first glance and no 2 year check up

We don't have emissions tests in the Dubai (well we do but they never use them) its just noise and altering from standard are the issues.

Some crazy modified cars exist out here but you do need to know someone within the registration/licensing department or pay sill money in order to get away with it. Alternatively you can just be lucky and they wont notice, but im not from here so they will notice lol

Will do more research into the shorty headers with test pipes or the long tubes. From past experience tuning LS2's im assuming the same rules apply with this engine, the long tubes will add more to the top end but lose a touch at the the lower rpm's?

I rarely extend the car to the higher RPM's so if the long ones lose power low down I think it will make my mind up for the shorties and test pipes.
