Do they do emissions testing up there where the car is registered?
Do you plan to install cats (hi flo or not) post headers?
headers make the car quite raspy (although, with headers and hiflo cats - the stock zhp muffler and the Rogue sounds GREAT, but still raspy)
If you do not install cats then the car will be very raspy, you will smell unburnt fuel each time you come to a light, stop sign, etc
If it wasn't for the stage III SC needing the extra flow from headers; I would swap the OEM manifolds back in for the sake of a little quiet
Even my current setup is loud - Supersprint headers into OEM euro M3 cats into OEM euro midpipes and finally into AA Gen 6 rear muffler

Yeah I'd probably install cats. Pretty sure they do emissions in MA, at least I'd assume. I haven't really given it exhaust much thought - it's way in the future and I have a laundry list of stuff I have to do before I even consider it haha
DW is probably going to merge them or something. I'll need to figure what I can take with me down to the meet since I already am selling a driver side door when I get down there.

Massachusetts does do emission testing. As for the laundry list what are you planning on doing? Need a hand?

Eventually I will. As for now it's easy stuff like fluid changes and headlights/side view mirrors. But when I get into other stuff I may need help down the road. I'll letchca know. I'll be creating a build thread when I get home. Most changes would be subtle - I still don't even know what I want to do yet. I just know that super overtly modded really isn't my style.
I first recommend euro side mirrors. I purchase mine from dubstopimports on eBay but located by Watertown so you could actually pick it up. Pretty sweet side mirrors. Well ill be heading down to the reunion. Are you going?

I do really want to go, but it all depends on whether I'm available. If I do go, we're road trippin. Keep in mind my permanent residence is two hours to the east :/
