Benefits of midpipe
When I get my car back I was looking to install a midpipe because I heard it saved the cats from wearing down(aka not using them at all lol). I just got the car inspected so I dont need to get it again til 2012. Any other benefits? Or crucial differences?

Get the BHR one though. The rest are just wasting your money. Sure, feel free to spend $100, $250 or something on another midpipe, it will develop the rasp (faster the cheaper you pay), and it will get on your nerves.
Start with the BHR midpipe right up front. No rasp, no packing to burn, fantastic fitment, wonderful sound, nice extra kick in the pants.

What about the CEL. my 8 is up for inspection and in texas we dont have the sniffer but they just plug in the OBII port. Im thinking i can just unplug the battery before i go in but it really cant be that easy.

It usually takes 2 to 3 drive cycles for these flags to get checked as there is a whole host of criteria the computer must complete. Unplugging your battery will prompt you to fail the test.

He's as bad as Can
No this will not work. There are a series of "flags" that must be set to OK by the PCM before the ready flag will trigger for emissions checking. If that flag isn't checked you will fail the emissions test.

I like my Agency Power. Has a little rasp but nothing ridiculous like some people made it out to be. Car feels faster from the mid-range and up and its dual resonated so its almost as quiet as stock. Weighs about half as much as the cat too.

Huge hole is huge
I've always wanted to get a midpipe, but scared due to legal reasons. Everything I can find points to Joplin, MO not requiring an emissions check...but dunno.
Suggestions?
