My recent long tubes story

OK
Here is my 2 cents on this...
I went to my tuner's dyno day the other week.
There was a guy there with a 2010 GT 4.6 with a Roush blower with a canned tune.
He told me the local Ford dealer had just installed long tube headers.
He said it still had cats.
I asked him about emissions (which are the same computer test as CT).
He said the dealer said it passed.
My tuner looked at me like I had 2 heads and said, "Why wouldn't it".
I said, "I'm just askin'. I don't know. You ask questions when you don't know something."
They were telling me that there should be no problems with long tubes passing emission if set up properly.
That's my story.

I like your style...but I have another question.
Would long tubes, off road x pipe And pype bomb axle backs be stupid loud? And if so do you think it would sound like a farm truck or have a clean sound?

I dont think it woukd sound stupid loud or like a farm truck. Im pretty much running that set up. I have oyoes long tubes with off road x pipe and pypes violators mufflers. Has a low agressive idle sound and sounds mean when you hit the gas. I would think you would be fine wuth the set up you are thinking about

If your curious to what it might closely sound like you can watch this. I do have hot rod cams so it is a little different but still close to what you are looking at

I have the eliminators but i took them off when i had the o2 sensors turned off. Im going to reinstall them when i turn the o2s back on and hope for the best. I need new o2 sensors for the headers but those are easy enough to replace.
