Default Anyone running LT's in SoCal?

Basically, cars pretty much bone stock, except a Borla catback..I'm on the verge of going with Pacecetter LT's and Y-Pipe and a tune, just wondering if anyone has had problems with LT's in SoCal...I know they're not smog legal, so I was just trying to see how many people had long tubes on their cars, and if they're something I should maybe avoid..

good to hear...have you ever been pulled over? cops say anything? I've had a cop ask me about my exhaust with just the catback, just don't want to buy them and then end up getting screwed over by a cop who might knwo something about cars.

As long as you dont have dumps you'll probably never get pulled unless you drive like Nick Hogan

Yea if you drive cool they shouldn't bug you. I've been pulled over 3 times with them and no complaints about the exhaust.

Ive been pulled over quite a few times, twice were times that I pissed the cop off pretty bad. Never a word about em. I had a cop tell me my loud exhaust was "illegal" once, but according to him he only said that in case I run across a cop who wants to be a dick LOL. Youll be fine.

Unless you run an import or drive like a tard, you won't get hassled about your headers. Most cops around here will pass me up any day to go after a fart-canned honda.

Well, bought the car in September from the dealership, so I don't think I'll have to worry about smog...but i could be wrong.

What kind of gains have you guys seen with LT's and a tune? And any advice on a catted-Y? I'm pretty set on which headers I want, but I'm not sure about Y pipes. Also, how much hp/torque do you think i'd get from replacing stock manifolds and midpipe, and a tune?

I have LT's but I can't drive the car because I can't get a smog so it sits. A great way to appreciate the Fbody huh?
