It is all about the emissions ...

How can the cops tell ... Well the sound is a bit louder, but not sure if you can tell just by that... If they got the mobile EPA tester on you, then, well, that is how they catch ya ...

With a long socket bar & a lump hammer. Not hard, takes a few minutes to get it all out though. Sorta breaks up like chalk.

Just remember these are for use on the track only! If you get busted on the street with it on the car it can be a $10000 fine.
