This is spot on.

How about living in California?

I just bought a set of longtubes and wll be facing the same scenario. Since blocking off the O2 sensors and putting on this exhaust is pretty much a no no in our state, will most tuners comply with our request or do they risk being penalized by the gubbermint>

I don't think Justin @ Blackbear/Wheatly/or Nelson will bat an eye at tuning them out.
