Default headers and exhuast system ??

i currently have a borla cat back system for my 98 camaro, and im thinking about getting some long tube headers/ off road y pipe...if i get the header system, do i need to upgrade the cats as well, with some high flow cats? or can i use stock cats? and will headers and my exhuast system (borla) work well? or do i need duals? sorry.....im a newbie.

I would definately get a y-pipe with hi flo cats I see youre in California, its a little expensive but seeing where youre from it would be a wise investment. Your Borla will work great with LT's my car picked up a solid 25 rwhp with LT's and a open Borla, That was untuned also

Since you have the Borla you are going to need cats...its gets very raspy with an ORY. You are also in Cali so be warned you will not pass emissions with LT's and cats. You will have to find someone to overlook the visual part of the emissions test.
