In the evening I'll try to slide my camera underneath the car and snap some pics. It's just stainless steel piping which replaces the secondary cats and mufflers. This doesn't trigger any CEL's, since the o2 sensors are by the primary cats near the headers.

With that said, there is still a set of cats on the car, so inspection should not be an issue. NY doesn't do any visual inspections, so as long as I don't have any lights on the dash, I'm good. If need be I can reverse it, which is why I did this in the first place. I didn't want to do something that was irreversible.

I highly recommend it to anyone that wants more sound. It is loud but drone is controllable since the resonator and primary cats are still on the car. Perfect amount of sound.

That sound is addictive huh V?! My MPG has gone down now because I have to hear that sound ALL the time! Glad we could help you with your decision making process. I knew you'd love it!

i'm thinking about doing not only what vj did..stainless steel piping to replace secondary cats and mufflers and leaving on the resonator but also putting on Sikky headers..Do you think this will be too loud? would it be better to just go with a joe z exhaust? I like the sound of Weapon F's setup with joe z intake, ppe headers and joe z exhaust but would like something a little different.

^^^I think PhiDeltBee is doing the very same thing as you're saying Greg.....send him a PM. He has the same setup as me and is putting in PPE headers.
