Default Emissions laws in florida?

I'm about to buy a set of long tube headers. It's the first mod I'm putting on my car since I bought it over the summer. What do I need to know about Florida law as far as emissions go? And offroad headers? Thanks

As far as i know you have to have the cat's on and thats it, aka catylic converters (or however you sepll it)

from my experience most exhaust shops will not take them off or even work on a cars exhaust that doesnt have them.

there are no actual emissions testing or inspections up in the panhandle of florida but i am unsure of down south.

as long as you dont get pulled over.. you can run straight pipes all day but i wouldnt suggest it, as ive gotten a ticket for improper equipment before and had to fix it in X amount of time or pay the fine.
