Default LG longtube headers
I am considering installing LG longtube headers with catbacks. Question #1 will I still pass california smog test?
#2 will I need a re-tune?
so how are we here in california supposed to use headers?

you will benefit from a tuning but it is not imperative to having the pipes on. As for Cal. smog laws...nope

You need to find a place that has a nearsighted guy doing the visual! Find some local racers and ask them where they go.

Another option is to start an LLC (corporation) and register the car in Montana. Perfectly legal, no smog or inspection. See:
