I have a problem . . . I can't decide whether or not to keep my current exhaust set up.

BBK LT headers, BBK o/r x pipe, and SLP LM1s

My friends been telling me cars have been getting pulled over by cops and get their cars checked in the Brentwood area. I don't know the details though. Just been hearing things.

I get kinda nervous driving around since my car is pretty loud. . . and the fact the LT's and running no cats is illegal. The smell that comes with running no cats is also pretty bad.

Should I just throw in some catted mid pipes with my LT's? or should I get shorties installed and a catted mid pipe? or am I just worrying too much?

Thanks for any input!

All they need is probable cause. No different when they search your car
