So unless the area Blind lives in is like El Centro where they don't enforce emissions, he's got a friend at a shop. ��
nope, I just swap the headers and mid pipe every 2 years back and forth. It's very easy to do longtubes on these trucks.

And in CA they do sniffer + obd. The shop I went to this year told me that it's most likely the next time I smog the truck in 2 years that it will be obd only, he's pissed that he will have ~$30k in useless equipment and will need to invest another $10k into the new stuff to stay up to code. Only cars older than 1996 will continue to be tested with the sniffer.
