Is anyone aware of a place selling these? I'm having no luck finding any. I own a 2006 with 2.5 B&B Fusion Exhaust that I'd like to keep.

I just searched the CARB database (http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermk...es/amquery.php) and didn't find any for 05+ Vettes.

there are none... the real trick setup is installing a z06/zr1 manifolds and cats. worth about 10 rwhp on a factory ls2/3... it will be a factory setup so, the smog police shouldn't notice a difference

Thx. I've got a set of these in my garage, along with reducers. I had hoped to just go an easier route and only have to install shorty headers. Now I need to decide if I want to get out of my 2.5 B&B and have 3 inch all the way or install 3 up front and reduce down to 2.5 at the back. I was too concerned about HP gains as I have a supercharger but really want more muscle sound with LT headers and worrying about passing smog.

Good info. Thx much!

California is so phucked up about this it is unreal.

I was thinking about an LNG conversion but then was told you still have to run a cat!

Those are not cheap, and I thought $225@ was bad.

JBA Headers I think has a smog legal header.

brucemc

LT for sure. No ST though.

I'm going with the Z06 set up.

I guess I will have to do the same thing.. Crazy California
So my awesome coated kooks long tubes aren't legal but jba
Are??

boraxman

Didnt think there were any LT's legal in Cal. Would like to see a link for those JBA's

And LS7 set-up isnt legal either, you just may get away with em/

I dont know about JBA LT's but shorties I have heard are.

How will you get the car smogged without cats? Or is this just a track car?

LT headers are not legal in any state. However there are a large number of states that don't check the position of the cats so long as they have them. And there are a larger number of states that only do the OBD2 ALDL test, which of course can be easily fixed.

California currently uses a Dyno run sniffer test as well as the OBD2 test along with a visual inspection. Jan 1 of 14 they are moving to an OBD2 ALDL test but will retain the visual inspection and all STAR smog stations do a very thorough visual. All non STAR stations my not, but most non STAR stations want to become STAR stations so shy away from anything with headers or obvious aftermarket gear even if is is legal as they are not yet smart enough to know what is legal and what isn't. (which of course is why they aren't STAR certified yet).

I do know of one station owner that has no desire to get STAR certified but I couldn't get my 93 Camaro smogged there because the Tech he uses wants to become STAR certified so he can make more money and declined to even do the smog test.

where did you do this install? I just ordered a LG headers kit and want to look around and see where I can have them install and tune at the same place

Check out CMS or RPM Motors. They can both do the install and tune at their shops and they are board sponsors too.

I ordered and installed from American Heritage Performance.

I had my tune done at CMS. Very happy with the results. I'm sure he can do the header install for you as well. You will be happy with the service and the results!!!

Magnaflow makes the shorty for the C6 now. Colorado speed is selling them for under 800. Check out their website.
