Default Qtp Headers, Race Or Emission Style?

What is the better choice? I just purchased the race style and will be getting a custome y-pipe so maybe I should have asked earlier but still would like opinions.

There really is no better choice. If you plan on getting rid of emissions go race style, if not get it with the provisions. Race style looks much cleaner but you will need to get AIR tuned out if you dont want to stare at that ses light every time you drive.

Yeah I plan on getting it tuned out. I was just really wondering if there was any hp gains over the other but I guess not.

No horsepower gains but cleans up the engine bay. And you will thank yourself later when you change spark plugs. You wont have the air tube in the way.

i have the race style and love what they have done to the engine bay. got the egr and air crap out of the way and it almost looks like i have an engine now...lol. as long a you don't have to worry about the sniffer test, you be much happier with the race style.

I don't really see the reason for emmissions LT headers since. LT's move the location of the drivers side cat the aren't "technically legal any ways. But I live in oklahoma and haven't had to deal with emmissions before so I'm no expert on this.

as far as I know the moving of the cat is legal once you hit a certain number of miles, maybe 75,000? 100,000? I can't remember right now
