Shorty Headers

In addition to my search for a sun visor, I am contemplating going back to shorty headers and stock exhaust. I love the LT's, but Calif smog is just too much of a pain.

If / when I do this, Ill put my Floored Fab LT's up for grabs. Until then... THX!

I know how you feel..... I am still looking for a smog shop. Even for the shorty header you can still get in trouble in visual inspection.

Gents, you will pass visually if you go to small independent shops in the ghetto. Look for no name, single owner/employee with an ethnic background. My e55 was a NV car that I had to register in CA for business and it passed with EvoSport shortys.

Better yet, open a LLC in NV and get a UPS store box outside of Clark County and never have to worry about smog again.

Maryland is strict with emissions, but nothing like **** Cali smog.

South Carolina has no emissions testing. We can run straight pipes here as long as you dont aggravate a cop and he gives you a ticket for excessive noise.


Bramage- I'm serious about the LT's
