Just so you know.. LTs aren't smog legal anywhere you go. You might pass the sniffer if you have a catted y, but you definitely won't pass visual unless you go to a shady place and grease a few palms.

Your muffler delete isn't smog illegal.. It's just disturbing the peace.

Kooks
Catted Y
GMMG

Should sound pretty damn good.

HAHA... If you pulled into a CA smog shop with that set-up they will just laugh at you.

Only shorty headers are legal. I dont even think a cutout is legal, especially if its before the cats.
