Tanabe Medalion Axle Back Installed (Pics and opinion included!)
We needa meet up in a couple of weeks so I can hear it and order mine!! lol 
I have the invidia installed, although I don't need smog for another 4 years, when the time comes I will just buy a bolt on resonator to pass smog

As to the "legal in California" issue, there are legalities in NC in regards to factory exhaust and cats. People everywhere put the exhaust back for the inspection, then go back to the modified exhaust exhaust afterwards. Just keep your factory exhaust. Unless they do roadside inspections in California, you be okay!

I agree that I need to do something, but I'm honestly not a lover of the GFX rear. I like the sides, but didn't want to add them without some sort of rear trim. I think the front GFX is okay without adding anything else. I am thinking roof spoiler for sure, but haven't decided on a rear yet.

Hello there How often do we have to do our smog? Is it once a year?
Also, could you elaborate on what you meant by a bolt on resonator? What is it and what does it do..? I'm also in the same dilemma and would love to know.. thank you sister
I don't have a lift or ramp or anything at home, so I'm going to have to pay a mechanic to do the work for me . . so might not be worth it Altho I'd love to have a mid

Altho I'd love to have a mid If you buy new you need no inspection for the first 6 years as long as you pay the $24 smog abatment fee (unless you're a non-resident, then you need one anyway)
If you buy used and the car is more than 4 years old, it must be smogged by the seller to sell it.
Outside of that inspections are every 2 years.

In CA the age of the car matters-
If you buy new you need no inspection for the first 6 years as long as you pay the $24 smog abatment fee (unless you're a non-resident, then you need one anyway)
If you buy used and the car is more than 4 years old, it must be smogged by the seller to sell it.
