I am looking into a header/down pipe combo from stillen and was wondering if anyone knows if it is an easy install? Also if it will pass smog afterwards?

If you are going to pick up headers from Stillen, you will NOT pass the emission test. The headers from Stillen come with a downpipe eliminating the CAT which is what you need for emissions testing. If you can find headers from OBX, i think you will have alot less problems. And the install is recommended for professionals, its about a 5 hour install i guess (thats what the mechanic said). If you do purchase headers from Stillen, make sure you switch over to your stock setup.
