Default Looking for a completely legal header system

I'm looking for a nice header system that will sound good with my texas-speed cat-back that is also completely legal. I live in new jersey and the emissions here are retarded. Ive been looking around and the completely legal ones are crazy expensive. If any one knows any sites that sell a complete system (headers, catted y pipe and 02 sensor extenders) i can find the gaskets where ever. I appreciate the help.

thanks.

FYI, technically any LT is going to be illegal. I don't know about Mid length since I haven't looked into them, but if they change the location of the cat then they're technically illegal. Shorty headers could be legal, but you're going to see minimal gains from what I've read.

+1 on any LT being illegal bc it moves the stock location of the cats, but if you just need to pass a sniffer test and not a visual one...on the cheaper end, ppl seem to like pacesetters. SS is more expensive but has advantages.
