Default Kind of a noob at headers..

I have a few questions on headers. - (99 WS6 A4 w/112k Miles)

I'm pretty much set on these LT BBKs.
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BBK-1694/

Would I be able to use these with a stock exhaust?
I know it comes with a Y-pipe, does that follow the stock exhaust?

Is it possible to just get headers and a cat-back? Or with Long Tubes, do I need to get a whole different exhaust?

I've tried reading the stickies, but couldn't find much info on using headers on the stock exhaust...

I don't believe headers will work w/ the stock y-pipe, so you'd have to get a y-pipe w/ the headers. I don't know anyone running headers w/ the stock catback. Seems like there'd be very little advantage in doing this.

If you're wanting to go the cheapest route, go w/ coated pacesetters + a dynomax catback. The dynomax will eventually rot away, but that's probably the cheapest route I know.

Those Headers work with the stock exhaust when using the Y-Pipe in that kit.

PM me before buying from Summit, I can save you some cash over them, in stock!

Sorry all, I meant could I use those headers with the included Y-pipe, with the rest of the system still being stock...

Sorry!
