MAC mid question
that's weird stafford does emissions testings...but I guess if you're closer to DC you have to deal with emissions. I live in Chesterfield - right outside of Richmond and no emissions here. I have Pacesetter LT's hi-flow cat and some other mods (check my sig). Maybe you could get your car inspected in another county?
Only the OBD I cars have to pass the sniffer or "road test" OBD II they only test the gas cap then they connect to the diagnostic port and you only fail if any codes are present, which means you can pretty much do whatever you want as long as you don't set off any codes and they don't do a visual inspection.
I also got a waiver in my state because my car is lowered and couldn't get over the rollers, and the State didn't want to have to pay for damaging anything. So lower your cars and you should be ok lol.

Even shorties can offer advantages over the manifolds....even edelbrocks....The idea behind the shorties is to meat emissions compliance, get a CARB # and still offer a performance advantage. They do flow better than stock manifolds...not much but still... So upgrading on a pure street car is still worth while. I helped a buddy get his 95 Formy to an uncorrected 13.5 NA with shorties, catback, cutout, 3.73, 2800 stall, and pullies. Still had the TB coolant hooked up and egr on it. Car was 100% emissions legal. Then we added a 150 shot and the car ran 12.3-12.5 all day long on drag radials and still cut 1.77 60' times. So there are a bunch of little things that add up that will help. Now yes LT's would have been the way to go, but he bought the car with shorties and we left it....I so wish I had finished his build....101mm fed 355....Oh that was going to be fun...
