Yup... you're not covered
Might want to think about a high-flow cat or midpipe.

Oh yeah... forgot that you posted that.
If you need to get e-checked, then look into a used cat or a high-flow.

emissions check.
If you don't know about it, your state/county probably doesn't have it.

ive got one more question guys......is there a way to get the bolts that have the springs between them and the connecting brackets to each pipe off?,,,,the ones my pipe came with are shorter and i dont like them.....ive sprayed my stock cat bolts with PB Blaster and im gonna let them soak.....didnt know if they would come off or if it would be easier to just buy new ones,,,,

thanks
Shane

When Jon put my midpipe on it rattled to. After it annoyed me enough I took it to a friends house that has a lift and we found that the midpipe was rattling up against a shield that protects the drive shaft. A piece of wood and persusasion tool took care of that though. :P Also when he put the midpipe on he did go up to Home Depot and buy new bolts to use because we accidentally cross-threaded one when we put on my catback previously.

Just used it to bend the thick piece of metal there. Which midpipe did you go with?
