i'm about to have to register my car here... any answers as to whether or not i can put them on my tc?

 

I don't think there are any 50 state legal headers for the Scion
don't ask..don't tell

 

as long as your check engine light doest come on your ok i used to inspect cars at Crown Ford and trust me they dont look for anything they just want you in and out as fast as they can because its all comission for them

 

hi, im from the government and im here to help. dont ask, dont tell. we're only looking out for your welfare etc, etc, etc. they look to make sure a pipe is there and that ur check engine light is not on. they dont take ur muffler apart to see if it had been gutted. as long as it had the appearance, u shouldnt have any troubles as long as it pass emmisions

 

NO! It's not legal in NC and if I remember correctly they just started using the sniffer for emissions testing. Since the header eliminates the cat you aren't going to pass that.

 

*NC State inspector here*

if your car retains all the original emissions equiptment (Cat o2 charcoal canister etc) then youll be fine. make sure it doesnt leak anywhere. or it will fail for an exhaust leak

 

actually they just finished the sniffer type emissions testing. and that only pretained to vehicles in the "original counties" and that were 1995 and older

now cars 95 and older get safety inspections and cars 1996 and newer get OBDII tested. and their is no way to cheat the system if you have a CEL on. turbos, blowers, headers, will all pass inspection as lons as all your emissions components work and connect with the computer.
