it depends on where your at ... in vegas we dont get impounded or even pulled over for even running open header but if you got neons under your car you get a ticket right off the bat ... lol ... kinda weird ... i doubt the cops will be able to tell you have the toda headers if you just try and put the heat shield on top of the second cat somehow ... and they wont be able to see that you dont have your first cat unless they look under the hood directly so i wouldnt worry ...

It all depends if your state have emissions regulations. If it does then you shouldn't be running a race header because it will definitely fail the emissions test.

no they won't be able to tell, if you still have your stock exhaust it won't be that loud. but if you have an aftermarket exhaust, it'll get a bit louder, especially the N1 style. and we only have 1 cat, not 2. oh yeah, if you do get a RH, also get some ESMM or motor mounts, and do not use the hanger that's on it

You live in california and removing the cat is a no-no...Infact I want to get a Race header so bad but I live in Sacramento, Ca...If you get caught without a cat...your car is going to get impounded...also didn't they start smashing cars in Southern California? I would be careful if you do plan to get one...

i'd still do illegal and i'm in cali, the only reason people get pulled over is becaus they do stupid ****. if you follow the law, there's no reason you'll get in trouble. keep all your racing for the track/strip, don't show off, its that simple

Just move to Mississippi. Sure there is nothing to do, but you could run open header all year around if you wanted.

You'll be fine. Unless you drive like an *******, then you deserve whatever tickets they give you. You won't get your car impounded for a RaceHeader. They may ask you to take it off. However, if you have emissions, you will fail.
