[Gunfighter]

Nice! Are you putting them on right away, or are you going to do everything all at once when you get the mufflers?

Another question about longtubes

I have been interested in installing longtube headers as well, but I have held off because I am concerned about my car not passing emissions here in Chicago. Is it true that longtube headers will usually cause cars to fail emissions?

If so, is there a temporary tuning method that I can use to adjust my car's computer or timing or something so that the car will pass with longtubes installed? I could then adjust it back after the emissions test.

Anybody?

I passed emmisions last saturday with longtubes and a o/r x. They didnt even look under my car. Im in Cook county also.

It's good that your doing it right the first time out. Long tubes are the only way to go. I've seen give next to nothing.

Thats pretty good. The thing that really makes you pass is having cats or not. I figure when inspection time comes....if I can't get it to pass visual inspection anywhere....I might have to break down and buy a shorty H pipe with cats.

 

[def1eppard]

Yeah, my car is bone stock. These will be the first mods ever put on this car. Shorties are just a waste of money IMO. If I wasn't going with longtubes...I'd just leave the stock headers and get an O/R X.

Get some Magnapaks. I got a sound clip of my exhaust in my sig.

You managed to pass emissions testing with NO CATS?! How did you do that? Did you slip the guy a $20 or something? Seriously though, if you can pass comfortably in Chicago with longtubes on, then maybe I should give them a shot. Are the emissions requirements for Cook County pretty low or something? I live in McHenry County (Crystal Lake).

How much would a good header install cost?

if your car is running good you dont need cats to pass even a tailpipe test they run clean all of my vehicles have passed tailpipe tests with out cats

I have a buddy who passed emissions with a 97 GT - shorty headers, offroad H pipe, and flows. The guy just didn't do a visual check.
