Default Headers and X Pipe or Y Pipe?

Good brand headers and should I go X pipe or Y pipe? Differences? Im thinking Longtube headers, not cheap but not expensive, maybe Texasspeed. I already have a Magnaflow Catback exhaust on.

Would this install be okay to drive on untuned? At the least Ill have it drive it 15 miles or so back to my house from the shop. Worst case I can baby it around since it is currently my DD. Looking at a mail order tune though with a quick turn around. Also will be buying an SUV soon for the family.

You can drive forever without a tune with those mods. A tune is gonna wake it up quite a bit though. Closed loop the pcm is going to do what it takes to run at 14.7:1

I'd say go X pipe personally. Phab eBay makes a great x pipe for less than $300
