CA is strict on smog but you don't have to actually smog a car until it's I believe 6 years old. Unless maybe you're selling it privately? I dunno, it's something like that especially if you bought it new...it slides past smogging for several years.

So even the 08's haven't really had to smog much yet here in CA...

My understanding was that early on there were some quality issues but they have since improved. So if you're buying new I wouldn't be concerned. It's the older headers that people buy used and then end up re-selling that keep spreading the negative impression IMO.

Each one was revved differently so I don't know. But there is definitely a distinct sound difference.
