    What's the advantage....exhaust question

    off road exhaust question....

    Please correct me if I am wrong. I seem to notice that there are not any substantial gains in HP and TQ in an exhaust system unless it is an off road exhaust. Will an off road exhaust pass emission tests? A few years ago we started emission testing with our annual inspections.
