I dont think I will have too much trouble as long as im not revving all the time. Car is an M6 and cam is on the small side.

Thanks for the input!

I'm kinda confused by the bolded statements, they seem to contradict.

lt's are no big deal as long as your car is not insanely loud...Got pulled over twice a few weeks after getting my lg's installed and the cops never asked any questions nor asked to see under the hood

I've had lt's for a pretty long time and no trouble yet. I ran Lt's with dumped duals for a little over a year and now i have a cam. I just hope a cop doesn't pull next to or behind me.

Why are you staying with a small cam? I would go with a big cam if I could do it all over again. Get a nice quiet exhaust with some cutouts and you'll be fine. I have a magnaflow exhaust and it doesn't get loud until high rpm.
