is there any advantage to raceheader Im just about to decide which headers i want and i just didnt no if there is any advantage to geting headers with or without the air hookups. If you have all the hookups it wont throw codes correct?
Race style without hookups really cleans up the engine bay. I really see no reason to keep air hookups unless you need it for a visual inspection. And yes, if you keep the hookups it won't throw codes.
If you're in CA then i would get the style with air/egr hookups, so that you won't fail inspections and get a royal kick in the nuts. I went with the race headers because my county isn't an emissions county and they basically just make sure my turn signals work 
yeah it depends on the type of inspection (if any) that you have to pass. The race style just cleans up under the hood by allowing you to ditch the EGR valve/piping and the AIR pump and tubing. This also lets you ditch a little unneeded weight at the nose. There's no performance advantage to getting the race style LT's.

I would get rid of the air system entirely if you can do it in your area. All the air pump does is pump outside air into the exhaust so a sniffer thinks the motor is burning cleaner than it actually is. It's really useless since the exhaust will be mixed with the same air once it exits the tail pipe anyway.

the air injection is for startup. it pumps air into the exhaust for a couple minutes to heat your cats up quicker. if your getting an ory...then the air system will do nothing other than clutter your eninge bay. go with race style. if you know where garlyn shelton bmw is in college station, come on up. i have an inspectors license.
