My bad Scuba, thats actually why I edited it. After I posted it, I looked it over and realized how abrasive it sounded... which was not my intention at all. I was going for humor and it sounded straight mean.

My apologies.

You can if your inspection shop only does a visual inspection. Hey Scuba I have narrowed my exhaust to the MAdDad whisper full 3". Curious how you were diggin it?
I love the exhaust note...perfect deep boxer rumble without screaming at the neighbors.
I am curious on the 2 piece downpipe. How was fit/finish and if I were going stage 2 would I need a custom tune right away? My shop wont do the COBB protune because of licensing so they want to do a custom map. The dude is awesome but I know with the COBB you can switch between maps and such. Either way should I expect Check engine lights when going stage 2?
Do I need to pick up a fix of some sort?

Thanks if you get this

Regards,

Hammer

Go to the inspection shop with a few $20's sticking out of your pocket and you should pass. Around here in cali first emissions test is read odb port as long as no codes then you are fine.
