yeah i have emissions testing, but im going to get these, that way it looks "real" and where i get my inspection is where i used to work, and the owner happens to be my neighbor as well, so he knows my truck.

ill be going to lou's custom exhaust in manchester, nh. my buddy got his 2010 titan done there as well as his 2011 challenger 392 srt8 done there, and he has no mufflers and high flow cats.

hes got good rep, and im supposed to be getting a good deal because my neighbor has brought both his vehicles there.

he uses all stainless, and welds all the seams, and uses no clamps at all! after the welding is done he takes high temp engine enamel and sprays the welds to prevent rusting and corrosion.

im not worried too much about the emissions stuff because my truck hasnt set off a p0420 code for a hollowed cat yet and i dont think it will.

its considered emissions, but call it what you wish, i suppose.

as far as ive always known it was called safety and emissions testing.

if the cel isnt on it should pass as long as there is communication.

regardless of that, I'd fix the tranny meanwhile.
