*gasp* im going LT's in cali! yea i decided to go LT's. big surprise lol
i have many hook ups on shops thatll do "special" smogs. so im gonna get the ones with AIR and EGR.
so what do i have to look foward to with pacesetter LT's (non coated) and the 3" Y pipe? in terms of dropping the trans later and other things. ground clearance is no problem.
how is the instalation and plug wire accessibility compared to the stocker LT1 manis?
how much hp gain is included with these with a moroso CAI included?

nice choice, and yea I kept my Air and EGR just because it really dont hurt HP, and really it doesnt take that much away from the engine bay appearance and I dont show my car so seemed like more trouble then it was worth, but congrats again

I would have at least got coated living that close to a ocean. Your rain water is bound to be more salty. Good luck. Cali is gettin so gay your not even supposed to mod your car in any way performance wise.
Their emmissions are gettin out of control. They are even tryin to sue car manfactures for their pollution problems. Like its the car makers fault they got so many damn people living there. Its just stupid.

my advice.. just delete the egr and air...it actually saves you money... (you dont have to buy block off plates if u get race ready headers) 
yea yea i kno there cheap but its money in ur pocket.... also just get the coated ones.. pacesetter has some nice coated pacesetters for cheap... you will be much more happy in the long run...un coated headers will get real ugly quick... and u will get more perfomance with coated ones back to deleting the egr and A.I.R.. you dont need it.. and iz very easy to remove wen installin headers... atleast the a.i.r. your not gunna be running cats are u? and also congrats on deciding to get LT'S

God I hate California's emissions laws. But I love where I live/go to school, so I guess I'm out of luck.
Oh for anyone that needs it, here's a list of all aftermarket parts that are CARB legal in California:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermk...es/amquery.php
Technically even most lids are illegal here....ARGH!

get coated headers, if not the headers will rust through in a few years. if not for the only reason that they look much nicer
