my grandma can tell the difference.
Yeah, but an inspector can't see down inside the engine compartment to find the exhaust manifolds or headers on a 4th gen. The closest thing to truly legal would be the MAC mid-length headers which might put the driver's side cat in the right place on an LS1 car. The old ASM mid-length headers for the LT1 worked well and gave the ability to keep the cat(s) in the stock y-pipe location. LT's are only worth 2-4 hp over the ASM mid-lengths. George Baxter was making over 700 hp with his setup. As for the ORY, it's pretty easy to add dual 3" cats to an ORY and you can usually find them for sale used or cheap on LS1Tech or Ebay. As for tint, that's just another excuse to get pulled over and then they'll check for other violations!
