Headers are not CARB legal in cali.

if you install headers, your screwed.

In Cali, the only LEGAL exhaust mods are CAT BACK.

Random don't you have SR header in your car?

Did anyone catch you or argue you about your header, different cat, and etc?

No, exhaust tips are after the cat...so they are legal.

No I have a turbo on my car, and Yes, it is illegal as hell. If I get caught. I'm screwed. I have to get my car licensed in a different state to keep my turbo before march of 2003.
