If you don't plan on doing many mods to the engine I'd just get the y-pipe, a y-pipe will take you about a half hour ( 00 or newer ) to install where headers will take you from several hours ( 6/10 hours ) or in some cases days ( no hoist/proper tools ) to install yourself. Good luck with your choice.
