Time will tell. I'll probably start the car next week. There's not much to them for $50 a piece. My problem with them is they're not square. If made properly, there's no reason they couldn't slide in and out easily.

Alabama has a requirement for exhaust to be baffled without excessive noise.

Every motor vehicle shall at all times be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and annoying smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, bypass, a muffler without baffles or similar device upon a motor vehicle on a highway.

I might slide by?
