two questions

school starts in about 2 weeks for me, and im only gonna end up hving
around 400 if i save up. im looking for some headers but cant decide which ones
to get. i know i want LT but idk brand. been looking at pacesetter and gibson.
which of the 2 is better?

second question. i plan on getting high flows cats soon to have those put on with
the headers, but who do i go to to ask if id be abl to get inspected with just
2 high flow cats?

any advice or opinions are welcomed

For headers, you will definitely want to invest $800 since they will LAST, because Pacesetters cheap ceramic coated $200 wonders will rust out eventually, not by weathering but heat and humidity will rot them overtime, which will make removal a PITA, broken studs, and having to go through the PITA removal and re-installment of new headers which could end up costing more than the good $800 Dynatechs.

Moral of the story, do it right the first time and you wont regret it. I would save the $400 or invest it elsewhere.

You can always buy the $200 headers, and spend the other $200 on having them powder coated. I don't know if that will hold up against the heat, but it does on exhaust tips.

Do you have a tuner with custom tunes? Have you considered that with those changes you will need tuning?
