I figured if I'm going with LTs then I will get the matching midpipe which happened to be o/r. The smell doesnt bother me much, you dont really smell it unless you are just sitting there idling. I don't understand if emission laws are so strict, especially in Cali, then why don't the old muscle cars have to be smogged? Cause those things just pump out fresh purified air

Yes i pollute, but my drive to work everyday is about 6 miles roundtrip, so I figure its not that bad. Just dont drive behind me.
