Ok so i had to smog my car this year (CA emissions) i bought the car with an O/R X-pipe so i installed the 6 cats needed to pass smog. I dont know what catback is installed but honestly i dont think its the stock one. Im thinking about goin O/R again but am afraid to get pulled over heres the vid YouTube - Stock Exhaust???

I dont know about the tubing, but based on the mufflers that I can see under the car, they're flows.

If you're worried about getting pulled over, then leave it as is. Still has a pretty decent sound.

I have a custom mid pipe and I just installed a custom cat back. I am way louder than you and passed many cops since the upgrade and have never had a problem and I live in Cali. Just don't go looking for trouble.

Your kidding right? Stick your head under the car and figure out what you have. Also if your worried about getting pulled over don't sweat it since you have the stock H to throw back on should you get a ticket for the O/R.

You can see your mufflers from the video. Which means i know you can peek under lol.

Looks like flowmasters from the color and round cap @ the end. Get some pictures of the mufflers and post it in this thread.

And your car almost sound stock with that stock hpipe.. i hated the 6 cats on my 97GT

I used to rock LM1s with an O/R X in CA, never had any problems with cops.

Full exhaust or keep it stock, especially if you live in California. As much as these aftermarket exhaust companies are charging, not really worth the pain unless your engine is completely built and there is nothing else that you need to compliment your exhaust. IMHO, aftermarket exhaust would be strictly for sound unless the stock one broke. Aesthetics, only if you have the extra cash, Christmas, and birthday presents.
You know how many oil changes I could have w/Bassani Catback and or Borla?!!!
