    am i too loud?

    i have a test pipe and exhaust and obviously other stuff
    but i was wondering
    if i got headers and had a full exhaust system would my car be much louder than it already is?
    and are any performance headers for the rabbit C.A.R.B. legal?

    Little too late to be concerning yourself with that, since 90% of your parts are not C.A.R.B. legal.

    Lol yea at this point its a little late to worry about this. The test pipe alone is illegal. As far as sound wise, you'll be louder but at least its coming from engine mods and not a fart can lol

    I heard that the header won't add much HP and it's way to expensive for what you get from it.

    Eurojets header looks promising, or at least better designed than the others on the market.

    However, their post on vortex they indicate that it causes your car to run lean. Not exactly the most desirable situation.

    Speaking of CARB legal since I am moving to Vegas here pretty soon I have to worry about that kind of thing. Is there a test or downpipe that has a cat? I know the Eurojet header/down can but I read they were not planning on working with APR to solve the lean issue and I don't really trust Unitronic.

    Nickon, have you had CEL issues with your USP or have caught any flak from cops? I have a friend that swears Nevada and Cali cops will pull me over left and right for not having a cat.
