hope that made sense
Fully understand, I was looking at it from a MPG test not from a performance aspect. Even without the upgrade your MPG will go down depending on how you drive. Thanks for the clarification.....drinking the Kool Aid Baby!!!

I searched Ebay for the Test Pipes. Do you know of a specific seller? I found the ones by the seller at the following. Not sure that they are the brand that you mention.

I would love to install headers/HFC's, but I was informed today that if I did my car would fail the emission testing here in CT... has anyone else had this problem, or is my state weird???

Or, do you just install what you want and when it comes time to test put the stock stuff back in? That would be a pain....

I'm all for upping my performance, but I gotta keep my G on the road... preferably legally

both injen and stillen are good and give about the same hp...on the recent review the injen pulled a couple more hp but not enough to make a difference.i personally chose injen so i didnt have to cut anything just incase i sell the car and go back to stock.

What state? I don't think you'd fail smog, unless you get test pipes. But swapping out HFC is technically illegal.
