South Carolina does not have a vehicle inspection program in place at the current time and has not for about 5 years or so..here you can run short exhaust systems with no problem as without the inspections we also do not have emission control standards nor does anyone ever measure them. The only thing is some shops will not remove converters due to the fine for doing so..makes no sence as the owners take them off the cars and have the shop weld the exhaust sytem to the specs the owner wants..
I too am looking for something that has a european sound (ferrari) for my 77 280. I have a six into two header and am looking for something that sounds soft but powerful, loud but not too loud ( like my sons Eclipse with whatever is on it , looks like a 4 in pipe at the end and is deep but loud) . The Ferrari or Aston Martin sound would be great. Any ideas , and i do not want the bumble bee sound either.
