Default More Smog fun
My buddy took his '07 Mustang GT to get smoged and they told him "no Way" he has to take off the TB, CAI, Shorty headers, X-pipe (has the factory cats) and the mufflers that they are all Illegal in our wondeful state.
Any one have any ideas or am I doomed to help him remove it all

Go to a different smog shop. Mufflers aren't a smog device, sounds like bitchy smog techs.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.
