Default california exaust??????
cant decide which way to go.. H, Y, or X pipe???
muffler shops tell me to go with the Y beause its easy.. i guess theyr scared to make X or H pipes fit..
my original plan was LT's and true dual H with cats.. theyr all trying to talk me out of geting LT"s and just getting shortys.. i know they arent smog legal n all but...

i live near torrance/los angeles area.. anyone know of some well priced non queer custom exaust shops?? and should i really just get a Y and shory's?? suggest?

The shop I am dealing with wants to do true duals with an x pipe, but he also won't mess with the LT. Says that I will end up with a car I can't get smogged, unless I can get a CARB sticker and that might get past the test (might is an important word tho).... but I haven't been able to find one. Heard some guys will find them on older cars in wrecking yards and try to reuse them?
