Default LTs ORY and high flows

What's up enthusiasts, I have Heddmen lts on my 98 T/A but I wanna change them because the driver header hits the k member. I wanna just go with a new set up to go with my Dynomax bullets! So, I was thinking new LTS with high flow cats and a ORY.. Anyone have a good set up option? The bullets just like that are loud, so I wanted to quiet them just a tad lol.. I was thinking a better set of fitting headers.. Maybe Pacesetter? Not too sure on which high flows or ORY! Need opinions!

Thanks for the reply! Your SLPs don't give you problems with clearance? I've read that many members here try and avoid them! Is it an SLP y?

The SLP header ground clearance issue was with their tuned length headers, their regular LT headers have 2 more inches of ground clearance.

I'll check them out, can you recommend any vendors on here? The Y was SLP as well? Or custom

If you want to spend a bunch of money on headers, skip the SLPs and go straight to Kooks or ARH. That being said, I wouldn't throw away perfectly good headers just because they hit the K-member... some people have had that issue even with high dollar headers. Just notch the K and be done with it.

Yeah I actually would go with kooks but I want to have enough money to get a Y and high flow cats..(I'm on LTS with stock Y lol) and the headers I have now are probably really really old.. They came with the car when I bought it. Since it rubs so mad and their like brown already. In my exhaust tips it starts getting brown as well.. Just want a new set up, one that I put in. I also need to change my mount since their probably sagging making my Header to hit.


Any other set up recommendations?/ headers?

Pacesetters/TSP headers with TSP duals will be the best option under 1K
