Well, technically, anything other than the stock exhaust system shouldn't pass. So, it would depend on the county how strict they would be in enforcing that. You must be running TD's all the way out the back?

Jon pretty much summed up what I wanted to say. I thought my only choice was to run longtubes into a catted Y through my Magnaflow but if I can get duals then I'm all for it.

Details on your setup? Local shop?

I'm in the Springfield area as well. I too would like to know how you got your LTs to pass inspection. That's what's swaying me from wanting to put some on!

well from what i have heard as long as you have cats you will pass in VA...the only places that i have heard that are strict about longtubes are places like CA. Everytime i have gotten an inspection all they did was make sure the car had cats and everyone else i know with LT's hasn't had a problem either. As far as my exhaust it is just longtubes running into an x-pipe then it goes over the axle with two dynomax bullet mufflers out back. If you ever want to hear or see it cerberus just let me know, i dont live far from you.

Good stuff, did you do the work yourself? If you didn't, do you mind giving out the price to have the duals installed minus the headers?

i got the exhaust from a buddy of mine who wrecked his car...he had the work done by a local exhaust shop which used to be in woodbridge but then moved to stafford.. the whole setup cost him around $1200 including the headers which is only a lil more then you would pay for a full exhaust system anyway

I'm in stafford. I've seen a silver WS-6 and a black WS-6 roaming around here but no other V8 F-body's but me and my buddy who just got his 94 Z two weeks ago. Lots of little V-6's.

Which shop was it? I want to get some TD's eventually, be nice not to have to go far to get it done.

He's referring to Robert's Exhaust. His shop is off of Rt630 (Courthouse Rd). When you get off of I95, head east and make a right just before the McDonalds. His shop is about 300 yards on the right. Look for a metal warehouse looking building (fairly new looking).

He's done work on my car and I'd highly recommend him. Real good guy. Lots of experience too.
