Hi to everyone I'm new to this site, and even tho I have searched and searched regarding this topic I still can't seem to find a forsure answer..
I have an 08 tahoe 4.8l so far mods done: corvette servo, K&N air filter but going to upgrade to the kit soon, my next mod I want to so is Long tube headers because I've heard they are the best choice.. I found some on amazon for about $250+ for my car but not sure if those are ok.. Anyways my main concern is if I install long tube headers will the smog no longer pass? In in California
Are their any long tube headers that I can buy that will be ok with smog whenever I have to do it ?.. Or is a header upgrade just an upgrade where I have to risk smog passes?
Thanks in advance

Thanks.. I still have a lot to learn about my car , gotta find out what a stall converter is (noob)... I really want the headers tho maybe I'll just risk it..
If i do get the long headers I would be able to install it with the stock car right?
