You must have missed that. ^^^
Only shorties are legal. Macs are not shorties, they are not legal.

Just puting my $.02 inAnywhere and everywhere in the country it is illegal to run anything but shorties with cats. Anything else eitehr doens't have cats or moves them from the factory location, both of which are illegal. Whether or not you can "get away" with it depends on where you live and what, if any, kind of emissions test you have to pass.

Why are long tubes so great? I mean, honestly I know they make the most power, but im jsut wanting a explanation. I mean, shorties with a y that comes up to them ( as long as the y's not restrictive ) should be as good as hte header going all the way down in all logic? Unless its the pipes all going 4 to 1 too soon..
If shorties suck, why would you bother?

Search button should be able to answer that, but the answer is exhaust gas scavenging.

Just look at our sponors ---->
Find any shorty header made for LT1's and it should be ok to pass visual.
Good luck

Either they are shorties that they call mids, or they aren't truly legal. Nothing that moves the cats could be counted on to pass emissions in Kali.

Don't be fooled by the tricky wording. They are "mid-tube" headers and not "mid-length" headers. They are nowhere near mid-length headers. They are shorty headers, and not even very good ones. A mid-length header could be made to fit a 98-99 and not move the passengers side cat, it's the drivers side that wouldn't work.
