Re: advice on headers Welcome to the board.
Do the Hookers come with a y pipe now?
If not, then you might want to consider SLP or FLP headers, they come with a ypipe and cats.

Re: advice on headers I just put Hooker LT's with their ORP on my '98. I don't think they offer a Y pipe with cats. I haven't dynoed yet but it feels significantly stronger. I'm guessing I picked up 20hp at the wheels. I am 'blown' so my results are different than an NA car.
Re: advice on headers u could get teh Hookers, or get the Jet Hot headers. The Jet Hots are an improved version of the Hookers. You can still use the same ORP's and stuff that you use with hookers too. I got the jet hot because they seemed like better headers, and they were cheaper.
Re: advice on headers just got a set of hookers lt's, hooker ory, cutout, and my stock ws6 catback. the car is stealthy quite with the cutout closed, not much louder than stock, with it open its the loudest thing ive heard next to running open headers.
as far as power gains go i noticed a huge diffrence in low end torque and top end pull. all in all its a great setup IMO. Im sure the jet-hot ones are just as good though so you might wanna consider them.

Re: advice on headers if you want to keep it quiet get a SLP dualdual and unleash another 20 hp. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> You stock cat- back is restricting the airflow.

My Hookers had a very long list of quailty issues.
Slag in primaries
1/4 of tube not welded, leaked like a MF
O2 bung misaligned, O2 wouldnt screw in
Flanges weren't flat.
