Default CT get race headers or no?

I am really wanting headers and there are alot more used race style headers for sale here then emissions. Should I just be safe and get the emissions style or race, anyone in Connecticut who has to go to emissions running race?

I run race headers and have had no problem. Most emissions places wont look under the hood from what i have seen but they will check for cats. As long as you get it tuned and run cats I dont see you having a problem with emissions.

I wouldn't put an emmissions fitting equipped header on my car if someone gave them to me.
