nissan 300zx NA 1990 exhaust cutouts vs straight pipes

[clickdoc]

hey guys -- i need your brains -- illinois has a new emissions law -- any once legal car older than '96 doesn't have to be emission tested anymore -- my last z had straight pipes -- made a big difference and were moderately inexpensive -- specialtyz - $460, plus an hour of labor, AMZ cutouts are ~$360 but i assume it would take at least 3 hours labor with the cutting, welding, wiring etc -- but would be good for the environment when i am not playing -- is the HP gain of the cutouts worth the hassle ?? tell me what you think

thanks

The cut outs on a NA car are LOUD!!! I would go with the specialtyz pipes.
