High flow cats or roll the dice. I roll the dice since there are no inspections in my area.

seems like cops wouldn't get up under the car to inspect...what do they know anyway? Actually, I think in places like Cali and Fla, they teach the cops what to look for in terms of performance mods....here in Indiana, I don't think they know **** from apple butter.

Get the pipes and see if you get pulled over, you can always put the cats back on. you wont get caught unless the car is very very loud. when you get pulled over turn the car off. cops dont drive around with the windows down in Fl.

I believe all test pipes are illegal and so are all high flow cats.
Not to say they always get caught, but from what I understand they all are illegal.


Cheers

high flow cats are only banned in CA, some makes of high flow cats are not legal anywhere because they are total trash, cheaply slapped together that are really not doing the converter job.

If you reasearch Cats, you will find a brand that will fit your Z and is legal.(unless you are in Cali.)
