I may be moving out to cali next year, and was going to be putting Test Pipes on my car. (I have a borla TD exhaust) Do cops give you a rough time out there? Are TP's not worth the hastle? I was thinking that at emissions time I could just replace TP's with stock cats again....Any info appretiated.

You may get a better response in the regional forums...

depends where you live, cops can be pretty strict in the L.A. area. I dont know if they would pull you over just for having a loud car, but if you get pulled over for anything else and if they are suspicous they may look under your car to see if you have cats. I also drive a 72 camaro (no cats, headers, and flows) and Ive never had a problem and I live in LA county.
