But it was my uncle and he knows the rules better than I do here. My list of reasons to stay in NJ is getting very short haha. I would love to do a full kooks system if allowed this state!

    I replied to your pm but long tubes are doable in Jersey. As long as it has cats and no CEL you should be fine.

    Moving the cat location is a federal law, in addition to some states.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    I have had headers on my last 4 cars here in Nazis jersey. All had hi-po cats and X pipe. The cats at one point had to have a card showing it was approved. Last 8 years no issue. Needed to have no codes in memory and pass exhaust test. Nj has since dropped visual inspection. You will have no problem with headers and inspection.
    Check my SIG for mods. Traveling from nj to Florida with family and full Ac on using vector 93 tune and varying fuel at half tank with 93 then 87....72-78 mph I get 23.7 on way back from Fl to nj I get 22.3.
    City 17-19.7 worse 15...

    Oh ok...I live down in Forked River, work on LBI. I got the car inspected right after purchase, but didn't really pay attention to if they used the camera. I've seen quite a few G8s popping up around here lately. There was only 3 in town including mine, I think the count is at 6 now...but most of them don't want to chat lol

    Lol well, the only guy that I have talked and met up with is a V6 guy, this gentleman I saw was in a black GT and I tried to talk to him about his car and he wanted nothing to do with it...it is tourist time...but he had NJ tags. Who knows. Maybe cuz I'm younger (I'm 26) he thought I was a douche lol
