LG Headers & Smog
Have a c6 w/ Borla exhaust and have LG long tube headers on order (with cats). Does anyone know if I will run into smog issues down the road? If so, any suggestions for contingency planning?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Where do you live? In Calif. "most" smog stations will not look under your car or check for CARB certification numbers. If it passes the "sniff" test, you should be fine.

Is LGM putting the cats right after the collectors on the C6 or are they moving them to after the x-pipe? I know it doesn't really help the Cali guys, but it could mean a bit for those going to larger cams and still hoping to pass a sniffer(ie: cat closer to the exhaust manifold is better).
