which headers i have heard the shorties dont really help that much but i dont think i need the long tubes.im just going to do a few bolt ons (cai,cat back,high flow cats and y,plugs and wires maybe a programmer).which set do you think would be the best.also would like to have them coated so they look good too.
Re: which headers random tech. y and cats with hooker lts in a word, no.
hookers have an ory available seperately from hooker as well as mufflex. if you want cats then you have to buy them and put them in the y. if you can go without cats. or get a shell from a cat and put a piece of straight pipe through it the weld in on the pipe so that it looks like a cat. our cars are suppost to be able to meet emission standards without cats in all states except california or so i've been told.

Re: which headers if i go with the hooker lts and the mufflex y with the carsound cats will i have to get any custom tuning done or have any ses codes.cant really have any tuning done around here as i live in the middle of nowhere(couldnt even get a set of 20s balanced for my truck right).

Re: which headers simms are used on the rear o2 sensors. These are used only for determining whether the cats are functioning or not. If you don't use them, you'll throw a code... Using them does nothing more than eliminating the code. So no, they will not cause you to run lean/rich.
I put them on my car because I prefer my SES light to be functioning properly so it can notify me of a problem.

Re: which headers the front o2 sensors determine air/fuel ratio. these are located before the cats and are used on any exhaust setup regardless of long tubes or not. the rear o2's determine if the cats are working.
