CAN"T INSTALL LT HEADERS IN CA!?!?
I got a great deal on some used BBk long tubs. I called up the best rated muffler shop in town and they guy tells me I can't install them because they aren't California compliant. I knew this going into it but I figured I could still get them installed no problem and swap for smog.
Then the shop owner tells me no shop will install them in California! Is this true?? What do I do? |

Not true...you can find shops to do this. Honestly...do it yourself. I did mine and I had never done it before. There is a lot of DIY threads on here and they work great.

If you need help, I can help you out. I've installed headers with a couple buddy's in a garage. All you really need are jack stands and a jack. Dropping them out the bottom makes short work of the install.

Keep your original parts, swap them out when its time.
