troof, i had an inspection shop tell me they wouldn't even look at my car since the exhaust exited before the rear of the vehicle, and you definitely need cats as well, some places will let you slide on the exit placement, but most will not on the cats.

I say that because there were the mustangs that have the front of rear wheel exhaust exit. . .
