Ok guys, I need a bit more info.
I purchased an ORY from Pham0r (a TSP) and I am still debating over the Hooker or PS long tubes. Some one mentioned that the Pacesetters have bad welds witht he EGR/AIR setup. Now, I am not sure if I need the EGR/AIR for emissions back home in Texas or at all. What are the benefits and disadvantages?
Also, I am looking for anyone who has installed poly motor mounts before? Are the a must?
Like I have mentioned before, I am new to this so I want to make sure I get decent stuff and do it right.

I'd go for the hookers, mainly because when I had bought headers before, I got the jet hot long tubes, which are basically hookers, just improved a tiny bit. whatever you get, make sure they are coated.
poly motor mounts aren't a must if you aren't making huge power, i'm making about 460 and have stock mounts, although i am upgrading to poly or maybe solid mounts here soon...

Here's a good queston for ya about TX.
Are you going to run Cats??? Since u bought a ORY i take it, its a NO.
If not then dont worry about the EGR because the cats will be your first problem LOL
Ive always had a hook-up in TX for my inspections........ that would be your best bet.....
I wouldnt waste my $$ and time with poly motor mounts..
Ive had the Hookers and the Jet-Hots both coated... I like them both and will run a coated header in the next car.

So hard not to laugh at that response. I trust your word shawn. I am just on a budget. I have three cars, an E3 pay, and a house that is more than BAH. I want to do things right, but if they aren't needed or not so much right now then I want to wait on it.
I need cats for Texas, but won't be there for 2.5 more years. I do have hook ups, or did anyway. Bad part is that they cost $80 or so.
What are the effects of running the cat/no cat and egr/no egr with performance?
Basically I need a lesson in Basic/performance LS1 101. I don't want to NOT ask questions and **** something up later on. I'm pretty sure I will be purchasing my headers from Shawn and still deciding on tune. Not sure if I need the dyno tune or not. I don't even know who all tunes in this area. I just hear good things about VA Speed from folks. If I were home all this would be easier as I knew people who ran LS1's for awhile. Being a truck guy I'm retarded when it comes to the f-bodies.

Also just because you bought an ORY doesnt mean you cant have cats welded to it.
As far as headers with EGR-AIR, when I got my car inspected (in tx) they didnt even know that it was missing. They looked for cats and that was it. Plus getting all that EGR/AIR crap out of the way definatly frees up some room in the engine compartment. *there is no performance to be gained from not running egr/air*
