Well after getting a scare from one of the previous posts regarding a $10,000 fine for using or being caught with an off road h-pipe, now they tell me, ugh, I was wondering if I should:

A) Stick with my present set-up except for a new set of long tube headers that fit onto my yet to be installed GT40 P heads. (looks like Mac is the only one that would work for this application.

B) Wait and get the Ford racing Shorty P headers and put a new high flow cat system on. Remember I removed my smog pump assembly, so I will also have to get a new air pump etc. (most expensive option)

C) Get the Ford racing shorties made for the gt40 heads, and gut out my original or keep it as is, besides sanding all the rust off, and reconnect all of my smog stuff.

A) will give me the most seat of my pants feel and performance, B) will cost the most,with decent performance, but be completely legal, and finally c) legal if I put my original h-pipe on, but will have the least overall performance of the three, but again will be street legal.

All replies and suggestions are very much appreciated.

Kevin
