Default Looking for header setup

Ok this is what I am looking for. I want LT's with no emmision fittings and a y pipe with removable cats. The only y I have seen with removable cats is the FLP, but all the headers I have seen have been with emmision fittings on them. Anybody know where I can get a setup like this?

theres a couple of brands that can be ordered with no emisssions. the only ones i can think of right now are the jet-hots. as far as removable cats, the FLP's are the only ones i know that do that, but you can always just get cutouts before the cats, or have an exhaust shop put flanges right before and after the cats, to make them removable. just an idea, good luck!

So if I get one companies header can I put the FLP Y up to it or will it not fit right?

QTP offers their "race" headers which have no emissions fittings . . . that's what I just ordered. I'm going to do the removeable cats thing also by just welding flanges on my stock cats.

I wanted some better flowing cats to put on there for running around when I actually have them in, but don't know who makes the best hi-flows. I was trying for an all situation setup, race headers, electric cut outs, removable hi-flow cats, bullet mufflers, and some nice shiny tips! I figure it won't be "too" (used very loosly) loud if I baby it but when I get on it it should roar. Just don't know if it is very practicle.

I live in a fairly respectable neighborhood and have to leave for work at 5a.m. so I don't want the whole setup to be too loud at idle, just want it to scream when I get on it.

I just had the Jet-Hot's put on and had my cat's dropped. I didn't add the y pipe though. I went straight duel adding the x pipe. Something to consider.

With VA laws I can't do that. I technically I can't even put the headers on, but I think they might let that one slide, but the cats have to stay, and so does the y.
