Reply to "Why are 180 headers illegal in CA?"

panteradougMember

From what I see,

1)there is no or little difference between the sound of the stock or 180's. Headers are headers.
2)There are no exhaust emissions devices on new stock Panteras
3)As an import, the Pantera is exempt from air pumps and air injection device requirements.

The only thing I can think of is that they are now selling the headers without the mufflers. As such THAT would be illegal to operate them in that manor?

If it was a noise issue, it is not the headers that cause excessive noise, it is the muffling device.

Stock Ansa's are hardly quiet to begin with. Technically they are a muffler but to me that is giving them more credit than they deserve, AND why are motorcycles and big trucks given more leeway on noise?

The only emissions device not present on my car is the evaporator recycle system.

Incidentally, anyone looking for 180's, check out the prices.
