They aren't legal either way, so you might get messed with. If I was going to do them, I'd probably just dump them to save weight and $$. I've heard true duals with the magnaflow bullets, and they were suprisingly quiet.

ya either way whatever true duals you run, your relocating the cats therefore your illegal. out the back is for looks and depending on your budget you can make that choice. dumping them will save weight and money and give you a nice sound on all sides of the car. dumps also have a drawback of blowing *** all over the back end of your car. i have have a y-pipe dumped and can only imagine what two dumps is like.... i'm soon to be runnin true duals dumped though within the next month

Dumps here. It is more sketchy with them cause you have nothing coming out the back. To a cop, thats enough to pull you over.

you are going to want the pipes exiting out from under the car somewhere. CA law states that exhaust gases must exit out from under the car via side or out the back (just not dumped). He in the Sac. area, I wouldnt even risk it with all the crackdowns they are doing. They are starting to pull people over for just having chrome tips! Its modified exhaust and they can ticket you for it.

Chrome tips lol! CA SUCKS!! I'm already nervous driving around here with my GMMG, let alone a 408 with true duals! On a weekend, you wouldn't last more than an hour here.

The exhaust will be illegal either way you go, but to keep them off your ***. Just go ahead and run them out the back. Having them dumped will be a guaranteed ticket.

What the @#$^(*^%( ???

That is ludicrous. I haven't gotten any crap about my front plate so far in California. Hopefully I won't have a reason to go to the state capital otherwise it sounds like I'll be in for it.

Yeah, I've got cats......He pulled me over because he said my exhaust was "rumblin' pretty good", and then asked me to pop the hood. He said he could impound my car because my headers were illegal.
