Here is a good post with some pics, they're not smog ones but you'll get the idea. Do a search on flowtech to find more.

P.S. If you do get them DON'T use the supplied gaskets. I made this mistake and it took them all of a week to start to leak. Terrible sound and bad gas miliage was the price I paid. Flowtech has a line of 'dead soft' aluminium gaskets which I run now and I am completly satisfied.

I am running them on my 85 T/A (5.7TPI). They aren't the Smog ones. They wen't in pretty easy but I too used the supllied gaskets and they are starting to leak after about 1000mi. Other than that they are great.

I have them.

Same as above, the supplied gaskets suck. Just throw them out.

Read the last post in the above link.

I just changed the gaskets yesterday. I was running some backroads and blew the gasket. The parts store was on the way so it's all fixed now.
