So for less money, you can achieve better flow, gains, and sound, albeit too loud or "raspy" for some.

What???? Zero emissions tests???? LOL, not in the area of GA I live in! Not sure about Augusta though. A new car doesn't have to be tested for emissions for the first 2 years, but after that it has to pass emissions every other year in order to renew your tag. Having said that, in GA it's just an OBD test. They hook up a cable to your ECU and check for CELs. No CELs, you pass. Pretty simple (and test pipe friendly!).
Edit: Looks like in GA, whether or not you need emissions testing depends on your county of residence. Per
Georgia Smog Checks - Emissions Regulations, GA Smog Testing Stations - DMV Guide :
All gasoline-powered passenger cars and light trucks 1982 and newer in the following Georgia counties must pass an emission inspection before being issued license plates:
* Cherokee
* Clayton
* Cobb
* Coweta
* DeKalb
* Douglas
* Fayette
* Forsyth
* Fulton
* Gwinnett
* Henry
* Paulding
* Rockdale
Motorcycles, RVs, and motor homes do not require emissions testing.
So I guess it's just us Atlanta-area folks who have to do this.
