Question Headers... Shorty, mids and lt's

KIND OF A NOOB BUT DOIN ALOT OF RESEARCH DEBATING ON HEADERS AND NOT SURE... I WANT THE LT'S BUT IM NOT SURE WHAT LENGTH I NEED TO GET SO THAT IM NOT DISRUPTING THE REST OF THE EXHUAST PIPEING FROM THE Y BACK. SO BASICLY IF I GET THE LT'S AM I GONNA NEED TO DO ANY ADJUSTING ON THE REST OF THE EXHUAST BECAUSE IM NOT SURE HOW LONG LT HEADERS ARE AND HOW THEY ARE GONNA CONNECT TO MY Y PIPE SEENS HOW THE REGULARE MANAFOLDS ARE ALOT SMALLER.... INISTE WOUDL BE GREATLY APPRICIATED

with longtubes or mids you'll need a new Y pipe and it'll all bolt up fine

+1 with what creeper said. I dont think you understood what he said? Here...
if you get shorties (short header) then you dont need a new y pipe.
But if you get either long tubes or mid length then you need a new y pipe.

Alot of people are gonna tell ya do a search. Theres tons of info on headers+setups. Get the headers with a y pipe made for them. If you want a combo for 500 bucks your looking at the same thing I did. Pacsetter long tubes and tsp off road y pipe. Its the cheapest way you can go but pacsetters and tsp ory is great imo.
Thats about all you can get for 500 unless you get a killer deal in the FS section.

my new setup:

Ebay stainless steel longtubes: $200
TSP catted Y pipe: $350 (or their off road Y is only $130ish)
Magnaflow catback: $400ish

of course I got the catted Y pipe for $40 and magnaflow for $50 used hahah. I had hookers with an off road Y and the magnaflow which was a lot louder, but I got sick of it and now I'm really liking the quiet and smooth tone with cats. plus the hookers rusted very quickly.

If your gonna get cats then you need to just get the tsp catted y pipe. ORY stands for OFF ROAD Y PIPE. Off road means no cats. I have the ory.
I also have non adjustable borla so you will have same exact setup as me.
Yes,my ory fit up there pretty good but I ended up dropping it lower. Its still good though.
