    Anyone know anything about Schmiedmann Headers

    Performance headers with catalytic converters built in for $840 shipped to the U.S. Looks like a solution for those of use that still want a chance at passing an emissions test. Anyone ever use any of Schmeidmann's stuff? Or know of anyone that used these specific headers?

    That's a good deal! Considering the SuperSprint Full Exhuast is about 3 times that price.

    I've looked at their site before but never bought anything. I might be interested in this but would like to know if you can pass smog before I drop $$$ on it.

    Justin, you are comparing a street set of headers to a full race set. not exactly an apples to oranges judgement. A better comparison would be some eBay headers

    JP, the SuperSprint full exhaust has a Sport Cat option right after the headers, the same as this set up.

    OP, this has bungs for oxygen sensors, so you won't throw codes when installed properly. And I'm sure this will pass Smog if they do the sniffer in your county. You will have no issues with CEL with the OBDII check.

    By off road I meant not street legal... apparently I was correct

    "Legal only for racing vehicles which may never be used upon a highway. Not applicable or intended for street or highway use."

    According to the EPA it is illegal to move the placement of the cats. I doubt the EPA is going around checking cars, but worth knowing. After reading the EPA blurb, I'm considering going with the magnaflow exhaust manifold because their website says it street legal.



    A set will run around $1500

    If you have the cash to spend on them. They're like $700 a pop!

    Jon (Au2bahn) recently purchased them and put them on his ESS ZHP. You should PM him.

    And JP, that statement just frees the vendor of any legally binding issues if you were to fail emissions or be detained for illegal exhaust.
