I was going to post this in the mods forum but I think the questions are better suited to the large audience.
I'm about to purchase the headers to complete my Borla system but I have a few questions.

South Carolina does not do any inspections nor emission testing so I think these will be street legal here but does anyone know of something I'm missing?

I commute regularly to NC but don't have to get my car inspected there. There shouldn't be an issue with running a catless setup there as long as I'm not a resident right?

Also, about how long should it take a skilled mechanic with a lift to put them on?

Josh, let me know how the install and evaluation goes for you. I've always thought about headers at some point. Headers automatically mean catless though? I thought you could keep cats on with headers? Maybe I'm wrong.

And if no inspection, no worries. Maybe if a cop pulls you over and decides to look underneath for cats. Doubtful that those cops are that knowledgeable.

Nope, you can run HF cats with headers, whether long or short tube, but those mid pipes with cats and LTs are pricey. You'd be looking at about 30-40hp with that setup.

Yeah you can keep the cats on with a number of header options but the borla system is designed for a catless setup.

I'm told it's loud as hell and I'm ok with that. :-)

IF I keep this car that is... I'm strongly considering the upgrade to a gt500 or a roush stage 3.
