that's some funny ****!!


as far as borla goes, I have borla on both of my trucks and I love them, and actually on both of mine at highway speeds it is pretty quite not like the flowmaster that I used to have those were pretty bad on the highway..... but thats my .02

I just put a hooker on my truck, and well I love it. I have no cats and it sounds amazing. My vote is for the hooker.

How are you guys getting away with no cats??? What about your yearly state inspections?
There is no-way you would even last 10 secs in the bay when they begin the visual inspection under the truck. Not here in Houston, TX that is.

I would strip the cats in a sec if I could get away with it here.

Oklahoma does not have an inspection anymore. So you can get away with just about anything here.

In College Station, they just do a look around, like tail lights, wipers, signals and that's about it. No emissions testing at all. Legally, though, I believe it is only good in CS, but I can't see HPD pulling you over for a non-Houston emissions sticker. I was pulled over in Houston the other day for fishtailing around a median on a U-turn, but he did not mention my sticker, and no ticket either!
