if they have not receive an emmissions exemption, which I doubt they have, then you are technically illegal. No problem where I live, you you may be screwed.

They shouldn’t void the warranty. If the TPIS headers were determined to be the cause of or contribute to a problem then the warranty wouldn’t cover the problem. Of course some dealers interpret things differently so it might be a hassle :boxing

By the way, if you put long tube headers on a California emissions legal C5 then it’s no longer California emissions legal because no long tube manufacturer has bothered to get a CARB number for the C5 application :cuss :mad :bs

My Service MGR and I have a deal as long as the main cats stay on the car they will continue to honor my warranty. I have TPIS with the pup cats removed.

Tracy, they are holding up great. I hope to be racing on the 28th. I think I have all my tuning issues worked out.
