Maybe I can get an exemption with a split exhaust. 2 tubes 2 cats then 1 tube over axle

and into a muffler.

Thats looks like a killer setup. Why would you need an exception?? Is it a local law thing?

I know this usually always starts some kind of debate, but don't cats impede the flow? therefore 2 cats would be even worse?? or if theres two pipes, one per pipe is it less constrictive than 2 pipes into 1 pipe? I'm thinking the latter, though I could be wrong...
