The shorty's are CARB certified, but so is the new MagnaCharger 2300 (the only other thing needed is a set of forged pistons)!

I've paid $500 in fines for LTs here. As much as I hate to have done it, I just pulled my QTPs because I'm tired of worrying about another ticket. I got some nice barely used Edelbrock shorties, added a Random Technologies 2.5-inch Y-pipe, and called it done. I don't have to swap them out anymore and won't have a problem smogging. Does it sound or run like it had done? No. I'm probably leaving a good 20 RWHP on the table and the sound it so boring now, but I'm glad there are some factory engineered shorties out there for us who don't have a choice.
I'm guessing the shorties probably won't be worth much more than 10 RWHP - maybe 15 with a tune. The catback will probably be close to 5 to 10 RWHP. Bottom line, for both, and a tune, maybe about 25 to 30 RWHP. I think the CAI would definately push it that high.
