Default Question about True Duals

I have a '98 z28 Camaro and I was thinking about having True Duals installed. Are they legal in Texas? Will my vehicle pass inspection? Thank you for your help!

Cats w/duals exiting outside of the passenger cabin.
Mine have the back part under the axel that I can bolt up for inspection or when I want to run quiet.

It all depends upon where you live, where you get your inspections done. I am running a 3in TD system (Lanes) into 18in pro-flow twister's through a CME.. I live up in N. TX where the "Good ol' boy" rules still apply... I never have a problem passing inspection.

I say get em... & turn some heads...
