looks like you have to deal with emmissons if your in SoCal... unless you have a hookup. an ORY will really magnify the sound compared to a catted-y as there isn't much of a difference in rwhp loss... 5rwhp at max

put cats on. Sounds better, power losses are minimal unless u are pushing serious power, and there is no gasoline smell.
