If no sniffer and only OBDii testing then do LC-2 ....it gives you all 8 complete readiness monitors set to green...and as far as visual the engine bay in zhp is so cramped its honestly hard to see the headers ...

That's what I've done now that Louisiana does OBDii testing instead of the old standard checks. Passed last two years no issues

the only concern is if a tech sees green then resets it to check if you are faking them.

That would be pretty shiesty IMO. Lol. Why would they reset them though? Even a stock car has to go through several drive cycles to become readiness compliant...it can't be done while sitting there at the shop.

The point would be to check the readiness first and see all green. Then reset the readiness lights and check again. If there are any greens that means it's a false green that was faked. It's definitely a crazy task to do but idk how many are willing to go through that. I've only heard of this from a friend who owns a smog shop.

I've generally heard of good success with LC2. And honestly, if someone is crazy enough to do that reset procedure, just go to another place and chances are you'll pass. I did that with my catch can

Yea I agree. Headers are definitely worth while and the most bang for the buck power adder available for ours cars sans supercharger...just gotta be willing to do the extra leg work to make it all street compliant

You can always spend a little extra and go with bimmerbrakes or a used set from a good brand like Active Autowerke, that's what I did and they fit perfect.
