I live in MD and we only need to get inspected once and that's when you buy or sell the car . I really don't care about smell whatever it takes to prepare for a single turbo setup im all for it . I know for a fact i dont want the rasp sound and i want some thing that will go good with my stock exhaust .

Several members here have F1 HFCs you can either go with them or ART pipes and swap your OE cats back in when you need to renew your regestration....a few choices just not BERK'S!

Unless your car is boosted, there's no reason to stink your car up and possibly get a modified smog ticket with a test pipe.
