Was thinking about putting Hooker Long tube headers on my 351 but was recently told not to because if I where to ever take the car through emissions it wouldn't pass?
Why would it not pass with long tube headers? |

Depends on area and year of vehicle, but if the car was equipped with catalytic convertors, and you removed them, that's an issue. In

you need to investigate your specific state program, some like Kalifornia have a visual inspection. any visual modification under the hood, Yes ANY and the car fails / tampered registration pulled with a nice formal invitation to the crusher. they may pay for lunch
here in the Replique de Ill-Annoy some rural zip codes don't test at all while the more populated areas do, 3 tries to pass & your out, no registration for you. then you'll need receipts for repair work & temp registration after your plates expire to get back to the test lane. pretty sure there is a limit on how many temp tags you can pull and it's not a lot. I've even heard of officers removing plates from cars that failed to renew registration due to emissions, now you need a tow truck to get your car off the road

And people wonder why I encourage the Californians to secede from the US of A.
