Help With Header Choice Please. I know there have probably been A MILLION threads about this. And I have listened to the soundclips at the top of the forum but I have a few questions.
I am within a budget, I am not going to spend A TON on headers such as QTP. The last camaro that I had, I put on Pacesetter LTs with a Pacesetter Y-pipe. But the Y-pipe had some clearance issues because it wouldn't fit well up close to the floorboard of the car. So the little bracket that holds the Y-pipe level on it, constantly would snap in half
and i would constantly have to have it welded back together (about 3 times in 4 months) I liked the sound that came from them, but after the issues I had with them, I was thinking of something different this time maybe. Maybe something a little louder 
I want a MEANNNN sounding exhaust. I will not have a catback. The setup I am looking for is: headers, Y-pipe, bullet muffler, and dumping it with a turndown after the bullet muffler. So what headers will have intimidating sound Im back in the game again 
Thanks for all your help!
Oh, and I wont keep cats on the car. So what will I need to do to keep the check engine light off? Is there anything I can do for that? What about 02 simms?
