I get a headache every time I park and exit my car from the fumes. But it's worth it

Cops dont enjoy the smell either, my test pipes and my greddy evo 2 stunk it up bad for about a week. Its also easier to detect leaks in your exhaust (if you happen to run into any i had my welds break on my injen 2 times), because the smell will get insanely awful with your windows down.

I don't mind it.
A lot of people with z's also expect their cars to ride like a luxury car and be quiet like one too... Hence the complaints.

This maybe a noob question but I have to ask... can you pass state inspections with test pipes?

Most likely not but different areas have different requirements.
Ask that same question in your local Tx. forum. They can give you a better answer.

I like the smell much better than the rotting egg smell that the cats give or the holes in the concrete in my garage from acid dripping on it. To me it smells like a gasoline engine should smell toxic lol
