Default Buying Headers Need some help

I'm looking at buying some lt pacesetter headers and ory-pipe due to that they're in my price range...
i was curious is there any advantages of going with a race style headers (no egr or o2 sensors) or should i just get the regular ones..
thanks for any help and advice

no there isn't any, I would just go with the AIR, EGR ones, just incase you decide to put those back on the car. I have the AIR, EGR headers but have AIR, EGR tuned out.

if you have to deal with strict emissions get the AIR/EGR fittings... otherwise if your gonna tune them out and not ever deal with them agian then go race style

Agree'd if your state doesn't require emissions I'd just get the race spec headers/y-pipe.
