Agree with the performance advantages of the LT headers over shorties. However, there have been numerous prior discussions on the emissions legality of LT headers. I want the power and I want to remain legal. As an aside, keeping that 7/100,000 warranty that i paid an additional $1,600 for in check is also an important consideration.
