I haven't had any problems yet in mass with my exhaust on the dak. When I had my transam I spent more time pulled over then driving. Mass is VERY strict. As soon as my mark 8 fan shows up I will be rocking an efan as well. Stay outta Groveland, I got pulled over just cause I was driving through with a lifted white loud truck. Officer gave me no reason at all for pulling me over.

Yup, Groveland is bad too. The police in groveland and haverhill are horrible, and I dont mind being a smart *** if theyre pulling me over for no reason "Your exhaust MAY be too loud" isnt a reason so I tell them straight out "MAY isnt an IS too loud, do you have anything to test with?" Then theyll usually reply with a wise *** remark and shove my license and registration in my face and tell me to move along or whatever.

Probably both..do your damage from under the hood and then jack it up and come in from the wheel well

Friend request sent. For the headers I've read you can do it all through the wheel wells. Just take the front tires off. I plan on doing this as well sometime soon

One is ontop of bumper. Look for dimple on end of bumper and its reachable with a 6" extension..use either 10mm or T27, pick your poison
