Do you have sniffer tests or just OBDII scans? If you are having to pass as sniffer, you are going to be limited to a low 22x duration more than likely. What do you currently have done to the car and what are your plans? Let me know and I'll see if I can help you out!

You won't scrape the headers. I have scraped my cats a little but never my headers. Also it helps to hit speedbumps or any situation you think you might scrape at an angle..... I am lowered too btw....

Headers FTMFW!!!!

i really would and i really want to bro but i already scrape my stock y pipe all the time while going at an angle. and i know for a fact that long tubes hang lower so ill be scrapin them hard.

oh n not just speed bump i scrape on if thers a bump on the freeway n i got a passenger it scrapes ther too. i just dont want to mess anything up too bad.

and i want to stay smog legal. i dont want to have to put my stock exhaust manifolds to get it smoged.

i think my car is just as low as your car... my headers have no marks on them. but about 6-12 inches back the pipe is scraped pretty bad.
Cam- i would call pat g and have him make one for you if you want the most out of a cam, he can do just about anything you want.

I hear the TR224 on 114 LSA will pass in Cali. Don't hold me to this though. Other mods may change this.

your y-pipe will always scrape, headers do not scrape on these cars. the y-pipe hangs lower. trust us we know
