ok guys, I got a 90 gt with a stock exhaust system, it's in good shape except for the fact that the driver side muffler has a big ass chunk cut out of the bottom. (the muffler rusted and was hanging open so I cut off the metal that was hanging so it wouldn't scrape on speed bumps any more) As far as I know that is all I need to replace. I need to get my car inspected by the end of the month so I have to work fast. I've decided to go with the mac flowpath mufflers. However I've go a couple of problems that I need to solve.

First of all I've heard over and over again how the mac cat back systems are known for rusting.

QUESTION #1: if I were to get a set of the stainless steel flowpath mufflers, and a pair of the stainless steel flowtubes, they should weld/clamp right up to each other and the stock H pipe and fit good right?

QUESTION #2: Do I need tail pipes in order to pass inspection in NJ?

QUESTION #3: What all do they inspect in NJ? emissions, brakes, etc.

I appreciate any info ya got.
Thanks

QA#1 yes they should weld right up.
QA#2 dont know but I would leave them on there just in case, and find out from the guy that inspects your car. And if no then whack them off and put dumps on it.
QA#3 cant help ya
