Good to know! I have a set of Euro Headers, I've just been debating on when to add them. My smog test is in June, I'll do it after that to be on the safe side (what's 1.5 months). Next time around it will be the ODB II readiness check only anyway, since the tailpipe test will be history starting in 2013.

I think my only worry will be just how loud the RE will be after all that. I'm going to use Gferil's dynomat approach to tame some of the drone (not worried about weight since I losing the stock mufflers saves a lot of weight).

Can you PM me the name of the shop you used?
