We dont have emissions testing here in Canada, so that is even a consideration for me. The only thing im trying to decide is if it will be too smelly, or just way too loud.

Well as far as loud, I don;t know what muflers you're running, but it is going to be loud...and I mean 3 blocks away loud. My neighbor has an offorad pipe and I can hear him in my bedroom with my windows closed all the way when he turns to go towards the freeway...but then again I don't know what mufflers he is running...from the sound of it I think Flows...

I have no fuel smell. I don't have a garage and my car is kept outside in the open air. I have yet to smell gas on the car or clothes.

Also, my ability to spin tires does seem a little easier now but the SOTP meters says lost torque. I'm not 100% sure if it actually lost torque because a guy I raced I pulled on him just a little bit at the beginning of the race.

I have the Prochamber now but used to have the Mac O/R H. I never had any problems with smell...on my clothes especially. Maybe this guy had an exhaust leak. I gained some in the upper RPM's and I noticed no loss in the bottom.

If you just get a visual inspection for cats where you live get the Prochamber. Tell them the chamber is the cats. Worked for me...

Yeah, O/R with magnapacks will get your neighbors to hate you...plus you may not always want to be that loud...for example the other day I dropped off my girlfriend at her mom's place and even with my stock cats, my Prostreet mufflers announced me 5 houses down and I actualy wanted to be quiet since it's a quiet neighborhood...and think of it, O/R with Magnaflows will probably louder than my current setup so with Magnapacks you may get a brick thrown into your windshield while you're asleep.

Getting caught with no cats means an instant trip to the auto impound.

amen. they'll never know the difference, and if they are into mustangs enough to know then they probably wont care, i got the pc for the sound and b/c its a little quieter but the psudo-cat is a definite plus

where did you obtain that info? is that a blanket law for all states???? this is super-important. I'd have to hurt someone if they tried pulling that crap with me!
