I don't know on the performance side, but it would be a lot easier to work on the car I would think.

Do you have to pass emisions? It makes it nicer looking, but the hassle of having to get stickers makes it a real huge pain when you have to smog it.

It is worth a performance gain, and a slight change in sound. Neil it's not hard to get inspected just have to know of a friendly shop.
