If they are smog legal here in Cali im almost 100% positive they would be smog legal in Texas. Cali has some strict *** somg laws. So pretty much anything in Cali thats smog legal will be smog legal anywhere. Do you have AIR hook ups on your truck??

I bought mine from summit for like $315. They are the ceramic coated ones and I love them. Very easy to install and fit was perfect. You will also notice a marginal sotp gain. I noticed more just cruising around town than I did at wide open throttle. And the engine seemed to not bog as easy whenever it shifted gears.

Does anyone have any before and after dyno/track results?

If your truck doesn't have AIR and the headers do, just plug the little tubes.

I have seen before and after dyno on an f-body which netted 15hp to the wheels. Not the exact same setup, but I was really suprised at the results. I didn't think they would gain that much from all that I hear.

LT1 or LS1 f-body? I've always heard that shorties don't do **** for power in our trucks. But then again, I haven't seen before or after results. Hmmm....
