Default Which header should I get-$$ no issue

I have a 2002 Firehawk. I'm looking for a LT header. Don't mind spending $ if the header is worth it. I also need a y-pipe and cats, and will probably go with a cat back at the same time(leaning towards GMMG) Any Suggestions?

Where can I get Kooks? As far as catted y's- any suggestions,? I know that not all cats are made equal, and neither are y-pipes.

FLP, QTP, or Kooks. I say get the FLP, nothin is cooler than being able to go from an ORY to a catted-y. GMMG all the way. IMO, nothing sounds better with LT's and a Catted Y.

I will go Kooks sooner than later, especially if my coated Jet Hots look like the others. I hate CATs so get a ORY Pipe if you can. The GMMG is what I will most likely be swapping my duals out for, that or a Corsa of they can get the mufflers to stop blowing the welds apart.

I have heard that the FLP header is good quality, do they make their own Y and cats, and are the as nice as the headers?

I want to still get the car inspected so I need to go with cats. Its easier to trick the inspection station into thinking the car is emmisions legal if they see cats

Kooks or QTP LT's, both have quality catted Y pipes as well. When I get LT's it will be down to these two brands. I'm leaning towards Kooks and their catted Y.

Another vote for Kook's. Had mine on a week now and I can tell a big difference. Nice quality and fit.

STAINLESSWORKS!

Honestly, you're a fool if you don't give StainlessWorks' LT Header + Catted Y-pipe some serious consideration. High-quality, no fitment issues, 304L stainless steel, mandrel bends, beefy welds, and a price that is cheaper than Kooks, FLP or QTP.

Stainlessworks uses two custom-made Random-Technology 3" high-flow cats in their Y-pipe with no clearance issues. The cats are clamped-in so you also have the option of swapping/installing straight-thru pipes and making it an ORY.

Stainlessworks also carries their own SS custom exhaust, too.

Click on their Vendor-Link to the right and give Al Noe a call -------->

You may want to check out PPCs (if you don't require a stainless steel header). The y-pipe is also coated and the cats are RT metallics.

I'm getting QTP w/ ORY and GMMG. I've been researching for months and that's what I finally decided on. Kooks was my second choice for LT's but only GMMG
