Because they don't affect emissions in any way. <br /><br />Actually I have a lot more problems with only having 2 cats with the longtubes - that is what most shops fail me on. Which is also screwed, because they are CARB legal!<br /><br />Still, do it. It's well worth the hassle. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
