Got longtubes? Come on in!!
Got longtubes? Come on in!! I was just wondering how many of you run long tubes on your DD and if you have had any problems with the law and/or inspections. Let me know your experiences or your suggestions. I live in MD and would like to know specifically about how the enforcement is in MD. Thank you.

I've had them for a couple of years with no problems. My setup is LTs-carsound cats-corsa and its quiet as can be until u really get on it, then its pretty loud. I do have a ground clearance problem with the cats so they hit the floorboard sometimes but oh well.
I plan on leaving the dual/dual catback on for now but a cutout is a possibility. I guess im just wondering what the worst is that a cop would do if he looked under the car and saw longtubes. I know with dual/dual he probably wouldnt ever look under the car because of how quite it would be but im just kinda wondering.

A catted y pipe usually hurts ground clearence. Depending on the headers they can be tucked up though. I had pacesetter LTs with carsound cats welded into their ORY, the clearence wasn't great but it was doable, if the car was lowered it could have became an issue.
I am looking at QTP headers but am planning on leaving the firehawk's suspension stock. I figured as long as there are cats the police prolly wont be too much of a problem but i just want to know what they would do if they did notice and were upset about it.

I have no issues at all. Headers were the best mod I did. Your cat-back exhaust will make all the difference in sound once you add headers. Also cat's will help out a lot with sound.

Been running Pacesetter LT's on my lowered truck for 6 months with no issues so far....
Inspection due in July, so maybe some gutted cats will get welded in or something to pass a visual.
