just get long tubes with a catless y pipe or one with cats...then pay the extra $200 every 2 years for a cough cough smog...
u dont wanna get mids or shorties...cuz down the road u r gonna change to long tubes...trust me...i went through the process...so dont just think about a catted or non catted y...figure it out if u want long tubes then decide on a y pipe...
if i were u i would get long tubes with a catted y pipe...just in case a cop looks under ur car one day...at least u can say u have some cats...even though they are not in the stock position, but what cop really knows the difference? jsut do it for visual purposes, then get a cutout

he's calling you out, sex offender.
i made 336/339 on a dyno dynamics through my a4 with mac mids, mac catted y, catback, lid and my own hptuners tune.
thing is, i don't have time to hunt down a good smog shop before i gotta smog my car in a month or two. sad to say i'm getting the mac mids and catted y taken off and stock manifolds put back on. for consolation, i've got a tsp rumbler to throw on.
in the next couple months i plan on throwing on about 100 or so CARB legal horses, but it's going to cost a hell of a lot more than a h/c setup that guys get away with in other states.
anyone keep their car registered in another state to avoid this emissions bullshit?

Did you need oxygen sensor extensions or o2 sims?

(Note for the politically correct: I cross into Mexico for service and repairs on my cars, oil change is $5 bucks.)

I was actually thinking of getting that Random tech. y pipe. Im trying to keep my car street legal that why I dont want to run LT's. I was under the impression that RandomTech.'s Y-pipes with High-flow cats are street legal. My brother ran that set-up with shorties on his LT1 and never had issues at the Smog station.
The difference in sound is impressive.
