QTP or Thunder race headers I can't decide on the two. I like both of them but I especially like the dual electronic cutouts on the QTP Y-pipe. That would make for alot of fun at stoplights next to a cop... just to screw with them. Also, to get rid of the fuel smell, could I add cats in the intermediate pipe, one after the other? Would that pass a visual at the VET or do they need to be close to/in the p-pipe? Thanks.
Re: QTP or Thunder race headers I'd look at the QTP's. Spend the big bucks and get merger collectors with dual cut-outs. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Re: QTP or Thunder race headers I would get the QTPs definetly, you don't have to worry about coating. The QTPs are in stainless now, and like said above, you can get merge collectors <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Living in Florida in the heat of summer, underhood temps certainly become an issue. I've always preferred to have my SS headers coated. It costs more but its better than melting stuff when your stuck in traffic in 90+ heat. Just my opinion.
