If you want headers, shorties with CARB numbers will be the only way to go to stay legal here. GMPP is said to be obtaining CARB numbers and I expect Edelbrock and probably Pace Setter to have shorties with numbers too in a while. Don't expect too much of a gain though  |

BUT, to add, I could have sworn that removing the cats is a $1,500 fine.
