Default smog worries

will the modular dual dual loudmouth exhaust pass smog with just the resonator?, i dont think it will, and was wondering how anyone had the cats and how to pass emissions, i also just had the slp LT tuned length headers put on.... the guy said there was no way i would pass emissions this way... anyone have this same exhaust and how do you pass emissions???

Yes the loudmouth will pass smog, that is with stock manifolds, and stock cats. Since you have LT's you will fail the test. If you puts cats on along with the LT's and get a tune then you would probley pass the sniffer, but then you would for sure fail the visual because of the relocation of the cats. The only way around the visual is if you know someone who works at the shop, or you find someone who will take a little bribe. Or if you are feeling you can pray they overlook them.

Basically I dont, I am just going to swap them for the stock manifolds when emissions comes around, which is pretty soon actually. Its going to be a pain in the *** thats for sure . I also have an off road y, so thats not helping me out either with trying to get by emissions. So basically I have no choice but to swap them.
