Yes just do it, as in my post these are a great mod, not cheap or easy, but a great mod combined with a good intake..These changes really WAKE up the beast..The sound is nasty, more attitude, great quality, great choice :cheers:

My concern was mainly about the visual inspection aspect of the smog check. My guess is that if the "tech" sees in the book that those pre cats are supposed to be there, he's gonna fail it if they're not.
Hmm... Well, I'm no inspection tech, but they've gotten really tough in PA too, and I thought the visual inspection only refered to having ANY cats (not whether or not that car is "exactly as it came from the fatory") as far as the cats go. I really don't know the answer to this (for CA). If it is, in fact, that bad in CA, then I say you move east a bit. :lol:

PS -- To he who said he's getting headers done to his car soon, you will LOVE the difference in power. I have no idea what the actual power gain is that the headers are netting on my car, but boy can you feel it!

it would probably be wiser to ask for the shop's name via email versus plastering their name on this forum
If someone is happy with service or an install, there is nothing wrong with posting the name of the place. People are constantly searching for good places to take their vettes. Names are posted all the time. :rolleyes:
