I have the steeda stainless steel catback system, and though I love the way it sounds ... I'm even more happy with the SOTP difference in acceleration.(believe it or not) Now I'm hooked! I'm thinking BBK Long Tubes, and possibly a Magnaflow X-pipe. I'm worried about passing emissions/visual inspection, because this car is my daily driver! I'd appreciate any help from people in Pennsylvania who were/are dealing with the same dilemma. I know I can get the MIL eliminator kit for the check engine light issue, but I'm thinking I could fail the visual inspection. Also, who can I get to install all of this? I'm sure as heck not doing it myself, and it's illegal to take off a working catalytic converter ... which means Midas won't do it just because of the laws.

96 and up vehicles dont get a visual in certain counties with the new obd testing being done.....however, if your check engine light is on it will fail the obd test....therefore if your light is off and there are no faults in the pcm....you'll most likely pass the obd test(in certain counties). Check to find out what test is done in your county.
