And my main issue with running test pipes on the street is that they turn an efficient, clean-running car into a gross polluter spewing tons of hydrocarbons, nitrides of oxygen and other pollutants.

For the 5 hp you get, it's not worth it.

Think about it this way... If enough people start running test pipes, smog will become a problem. When people start complaining about smog, the only option will be for your state to start imposing the same hellish smog laws that we have to deal with here in CA.

You don't want those legal hassles. I want breathable air. Run a catalytic converter...please!
