I could install a set but every 2 years prior to emissions testing, they would just have to come off once again and the cat back system re-installed.
Just too much of a hassle and it's just easier for me to keep it legal.
It still runs high 12 second ETs at 102.00 mph with 1.70 60 foot times all with emission legal parts such as Edelbrock Performer heads, Comp Cam, 1.6 Comp Cams Roller Rockers, BBK 58MM throttle body while retaining the factory intake and runners.
Working on a deal right now to install a Accel Super Ram that has been extrude ported that I hope will get it into the mid 12's.
Engine is a 383 stroker and a 2.59 rear end gear

Ah, I see you've got an 86. Unfortunately I don't think I got the same gains as you from doing headers; the LTx engines aren't nearly as choked up by the stock intake/exhaust as the L98.
\/\/\/ Hmm, that's good news! Maybe I've heard wrong.

California Dreaming. I haven't had any problems getting smog passed with header's albeit they are Shorty Header's from Sanderson Header's in SSF. I just re-install my MagnaFlow Cat, no muffler's btw, and passes it does. I will be adding Long Tube Header's by summer however. With my new CompCams Cam I may not pass smog now anyway but what the hey?

100.73 headers. Sure would like to find another 1/2 second bolt on.
What mods do you have in addition to headers & other exhaust work?? Is it an A4 or 4+3?
Try some simple ones:
-cut-back spark electrodes
-cut air cleaner housing
-160 deg T-stat & fan sw
-leave the spare & jack at home
-arrive at strip with 1/3 tank of fuel
Likely you could benefit from an AFPR with a bump in fuel pressure due to increased air flow.
