A funny story and a question to go with it...

Well.. I had to bring in my car to get an emissions test done on it. So I drive down to a plaza with a bunch of mechanic shops. All of them pretty much had their garages open cuz it was a nice day out. So I pull in and this guy runs out and asks if I needed an emissions test done. I don't know how he knew I needed one but he was real excited that I said yes (not many nice cars aorund where I live, so my SS is real eye candy for people) but anyways... they put me up on their dyno so they can run the sniffer with the car going at 40km/h. So they fired it up to get it started and the entire shop stops what they're doing to come watch lol. Well we start rolling and the car starts to fishtail and they guy says that the computer was going crazy. Turn out I somehow broke their dyno lol! Now I'm not saying I have a super powerful car, I know for a fact that I don't cuz it's pretty much bone stock but my car stock is much more than a regular car around here. So they hook me up to their second dyno and it runs fine. I pass no problem. So I'm waiting for a visual inspection and all they do is pop the hood, ask "is it stock?" I said yes. And they closed the hood after about a 3 second glance. They didn't even look under the car (which I had expected) Well anyways...

My question is if I put FLP long tube headers and their y-pipe set up (the one from thunderracing.com) would I run into any problems the next time I get it tested? Sorry for the long posts and thanks for replies.

Probably won't have any problems if you go back to that place!
