i thought that they made longtubes and catted y pipes that were legal in cali? do what you have to do not to get a ticket or anything. but imagine you running two miles with only a straw to breath through. thats what your car would be like without longtubes and a bigger y pipe. i dont know how well of a comparison this is. but with just bolt-ons and crap kumo's i hit a 12.6.
