Shorties?

thetrooper31 · November 12th, 2007, 01:20 PM

i wanna get new headers ...well i want longtubes...but Pa has emissions and idk id have to work something out to pass....are shorties worth getting at all?

Juggalo_X · November 12th, 2007, 01:27 PM

Are long tubes prohibited? or can you have them with cats in your area and still pass emissions? if your getting shorties get the 94-98 stock manifolds they are shorties and cheaper then any other brand. either way they wont give much gains over stock on a new edge stang.

Headers really wont make a huge difference in your year, but if you want them, by all means, it is your car...btw you can get around emissions, I used to live in P.a. and all you have to do is know someone...wink wink. N.j. is a lot harder though.

get LTs if your going to get headers, just have them weld your cats on farther back you'll be fine it'll pass OBD2 and the sniffer

thetrooper31 · November 12th, 2007, 06:18 PM

so if i get a catted midpipe with longtubes it will pass?

AtlanticBlue99 · November 12th, 2007, 06:22 PM

it may pass the sniffer and obdii check, but may fail a visual inspection

GreenFaleen · November 12th, 2007, 07:40 PM

it'll pass visual if it is catted.

some states fail modified exhaust period (california), and other fail long tubes on a visual, regardless of cats and sniffer tests. it all depends on the guy testing, the county/city/state dmv, etc.

thats true but most places dont even look and if they do most of them cant tell the difference
