Default header question

I was thinking of getting some hooker headers as i'm beginning to fear n2o and all the possibilities of something failing a ******* up my car, so im planning on buying some hooker headers with an off road y-pipe. Utilizing this and a lid, would it be worth while to pay more for headers, or should i go with a cat back exhaust? im wondering what will yield better power gains through out the power band. thanks!

If you want the maximum power gains for minimum money spent on an exhaust system, then don't even worry about a catback system. Get the LT headers and ORY, and just get a cutout.......

Headers will make a lot more power than a cat-back if it is either or.

You should see a solid 30-40 with some long tubes and a cut-out.
