not worth the hassle of taking off and putting on, and if the cops not a dipshit he'll know its illegal instantly. no thanks on the ref ticket
and that gain was also goin from the stock h-pipe to a off road x-pipe, less than half that gain was from the headers i can guarantee that

yes, but it must have a C.A.R.B. (california air resource board) exempt with a #. There are no 50 legal X/H pipes with a carb #, but alot of people get away with 49 state legal x/h pipes.
