Default Set-up, does it make any sense?

Alright, this is a '98 formula M6, daily (never really in stop and go) driver.

I have a FRA, lid, ported MAF (!screen), Hooker LT's, will have fabbed y with cats, and hooker catback, and 4.10's.

Everything is on there except the 4.10s (waiting to iron out trans. problems, but have them already), the exhaust (i'm running a cut-out, i need something mean, deep and not as loud).

I want to go with the TR224 114LSA, from what i've read it is what i'm looking for. One thing is i live in CA and have to smog every 2 years, so this is a concern. I know the LT's are illegal, but i know i can find a shop to overlook visual as long as i pass the sniffer. Can i pass the with the TR224 114LSA with the LT's and cats?

Will this set-up work well?

Also, what kind of exhaust should i get for my needs (mean, deep, and quieter than a cut-out, heh)? Thanks.

Here in Colorado we too have emmisions every two years. That is why I still keep my stock cam around. Swap it in, get the test done, and then swap it out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

The LT should be ok as long as you keep the cats. They are needed for the visual inspection. The important thing is you have a set on. Now if they are 'Ported Hi Flow' cats, that is another thing <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Well, first off LT's are illegal in CA, cats or not, but i know i'll need cats of course.

The question is will this stuff all work well together, from what i know it will, but i need someone with my experience to help me out to make sure.
