No problems as long as you don't get your hood popped or have to get smogged. I have never had any issues with mine, but I don't get pulled over much either.

Ive had nothing but issues when i went from Shorty headers to LT's ... you do gain more but be careful you may have issues.

The difference on a bolt-on car w/o a tune was minimal, though you can feel where each works better in the RPM range. With heads/cam a proper tune and n2o i would say an honest 30-40hp will be left on the table, possibly more on the juice.
