A buddy of mine wants to give me his new set of headers and x pipe to install on my 01 base Corvette. I'm running catback Borla stingers right now. Being that we have to smog our vehicles in CA every two years. Do you guys running headers and x pipe have any issues with smogging your cars? I plan on running free flow cats as well. Like some advise before I tear into it. The price good. FREE!

The short answer is: YES, you should expect to have problems come smog time, unless you have some sort of plan to circumvent the typical process.

No problems here

Do you own a smog inspection place Brandon?

No sir I do not, that would be an illegal action within the state of California. I PM'd you my friend.

The fact is that a citizen always has responsibilities. You can buy California street legal 1000+ hp cars, as many as you want, any color, if you have the money.

There are a lot of things I can not afford, but don't violate the laws to achieve my desires.
I even give back incorrect change. I well know I am not a perfect citizen, but do try to support the local goals. All of my neighbors . and myself, have supported the air quality laws for many years, out of need.

Smog is better now, but the geography doesn't help. A child born today will have lung damage all their life, by age eight, if they happen live in parts of the San Fernando Valley. I mention this because it is easy to check the facts, published at the california air quality website.

THe first climate related evacuation in the US has just been funded, 48 million to move a community of 60 people. Perhaps you thought the situation fictional, like some say on TV.

You can pretend to be a hick from the sticks, but you are living in one of the most advanced areas of the country, with real air quality problems, modern goals and educated people.
