Ok, living in Cali is dangerous if you are running a test pipe. Popo's don't need a search warrant to look under the car only to see a shiny test pipe instead of a fake cat.

I also see that some test pipes (such as Megan) have brackets for some type of heat shield. I went to the dealer and tried to look for a heat shield for the catalytic converter (Secondary cat for s14's) and neither the s13 nor s14 has a heat shield on the cat.

My question is: What bolts on to the brackets on these test pipes? Are we to fabricate some type of heat shield? I would feel much safer if the test pipe was covered with a heat shield so that it would look like a cat. Thanks for your input
