CARB Emissions

[zmoore20]

Hey gang - I'm in Denver and am getting started on my bone stock 351w/exhaust. Been having trouble with the mods I want to do (long tube headers/cat backs mostly) while staying CARB compliant with our emissions. I'm looking for any and all suggestions or thread links on motor exhaust upgrades that folks have done and passed emissions. Thanks!!

Not long tube, but I installed Bassani headers & y-pipe w/cats, and Flowmaster 60 series. The previous owner had deleted the cats. The N.VA emissions are pretty tough, but I am now exempt due to age.

Yo Z,
Sorry for my delay!
Bassani exhaust has an excellent reputation for performance features as well as being CARB Compliant;
