CA exhaust ?'s
So I live in California and im lookin to go with LT headers and possibly a TD setup. Ive heard people say there is now way to pass smog if i have LT'S....Is this true? If so how hard would it be to put the stock exhaust back on?
Also I have been reading a lot about headers lately and I know that QTP or Kooks are most often the favorite, but how much of a difference is there between Pacesetter ceramic coated headers and say Kooks headers? It just seems like droppin a grand for some headers is a lil bit much
thanks for all the info

Your best bet is to go with the longtubes then find somebosy that will look past the longtubes and then you will pass if you have cats! without cats most likey you wont pass a regular sniffer test!

None the less I wish I could run long tubes . These smog laws are just ridiculous.

I drive a '99 and they say that my shorties are midlengths. They are not. It is just an advertising ploy.
There are no pics of the "mid lengths" for your year. I am going to see if I can find some pics

I am trying to get more info since I thought '93 manifolds looked like this:
If your manifolds look like this, I just assumed that the cats would be right under the merge connectors.
