you should pass emissions just fine. the resonator is just a sound-deadening device.

Flowmasters are crappy exhausts, even domestic guys tend to think so, I have a magnaflow on the IS and it sounds good, but if I had to do it again, I might have done a borla because they tend to be more quiet.. but all in all I am more than happy with my magnaflow.

I listened to many clips of the HKS, Tanabe, and L-tuned and nothing sounds better than the three (borla, flowmaster, or magnaflow) thats why i REALLY wanna know what the most people think out of those 3!!!! but thanks for all input as always
