I've seen that BBK makes some and sells the short H-pipe w/ CATS to go with it, but does this combo have a CARB excemption # ? <p>I was oringinally going to go with the equal length shorties ( I know they're a pain in the a$$ to install, but a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do, I put them on my 91 LX and they weren't that bad), but I've seen that the long tubes are worth a little more HP. Also, given the best case scenario I would want a combo that would let me use the long tubes and a short x-pipe with CATS, anyone make those?? <br />What about trqe with the long tubes? Any gain or loss? Gotta have the grunt if I can get it. <p>If I'm going to do the install I would rather get more hp/trqe in one shot, but since I live in the People's Republic of CA I gotta stay smog legal. <p>Thanx for the input! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>5ptSlow</b> <br /><small>Member # 537</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,1,27,9,19,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> they dont make smog legal ones cause the cats are further down which makes them function differently i guess. who knows though, if you can find a place that doesnt do visuals you can probably still pass <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>TORQUEPIMP</b> <br /><small>Member # 386</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,1,27,9,29,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> no such thing as smog legal long tubes.. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>1995gts</b> <br /><small>Member # 910</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,1,27,9,45,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Thanks for the answers!

Through now smog-legal High Flow-Cats from Summit. There are 900 horsepowered cars running through shorties out there. So can you. Yeah you might pick-up 10 extra horses, but your not legal. I think the fine is $1000 per cat max. Ask yourself, if you get a pissed off judge who max fines you that day - 4 x cats = $4,000....... Now is that worth 10 horsepower?? Nope. Not on a daily driver it isn't.<br />Get some JBA stepped shorties. They can give you the best hp. At least if your combo warrants stepped headers. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ihatethesesns</b> <br /><small>Member # 684</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,1,28,10,16,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> how low is your car ted? cuz i know it would be a task for a cop to see if i have cats I dont think you can tell on mine without jacking it up. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
