Cats and emission testing
I live in MD. and have a concern about emissions testing. How would LTs and hi flow cats affect testing? BTW, those are planned mods. Not done yet. I had already budgeted for your exhaust (the loud version) but not headers. LTs and exhaust will take up too much of my bonus. I have only 2.2-2.5k to work with. Maybe a little more. I have to stretch it the best I can. I usually buy computer stuff but not this year. I have a new hole to pour money into.

Bigger pan
What benefit is the bigger pan. Dr. plug is no big deal. Do I need the additional capacity? Even with a converter this will still be a daily driver and a periodic racer. A converter is 800-1000 and the LT and exhaust are almost 2K. Sorry to say, I can't do it all or trust me it would already be done, and money would be no object. But I'm not rich. I'm lucky I can do this so I have to do it right. I want to make the most of the truck's power by getting it to the ground. I know I can get lot's more engine HP but then we're looking at picking up pieces. So I think I'll try mild hp increase and good traction and trans. Does that make sense or am I off base totally?

two words for why to upgrade the tranny pan....
drain plug
drain plug
Why?
I've only changed trans fluid and filter a couple times myself and didn't have any real mess to speak of and didn't find it difficult at all. I really expected to drown in trans fluid. My Bro in law works at a dealership and he'll do it for me too cheap. I can see where it might be a convenience item but I can get along without that. I don't have too many opportunities to do this so I have to make the best of it. Thanks tho'.
