Default Ready to order my headers, last minute suggestions

Ok, the headers will be ordered monday, and I just wanted to know if there's anything else I should order before I make it final. I'm also getting my Pro 5.0. Should make for a nice Christmas

You don't show a y-pipe so if you get long tubes without a new one they won't do ya much good.

Get em coated. Im running a flowtech LT setup with ORY and borla(open). Sounds awesome, but my only regret is not getting them coated. The black paint or whatever they put on all chipped off and they look OEM brown/rusty now.

We sell flowtech's the most. Everyone seems to love them and we get good power improvements with them. And as stated before you'll need a y pipe.

I intend on buying this deal

http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...d=184&catid=20 and a Pacesetter y-pipe. Are the QTP's a better deal?

Spend a little more now on the QTPs...I'd say these are the header to go with right now. And that's coming from a guy with Kooks stainless headers.

Yeah, get the QTP's but you'll probably have to use their y-pipe but that's no big deal.
