Default Which mod next?

I didn't know where to post this since I'm talking about 2 different mods. But what should i do next? I have a 1998 Z28 with lid and exhaust. The two mods that were in mind were either a converter( Vig.3200) or Hooker Long Tubes with a different Y - pipe. What would some of the future problems i would have with either one of these mods? Which one would be better to do? And would i need tuning?thanx.

On a A4 car I would go with the converter.

Depeneds on the tires you will be runnin. You could improve your ET on the street and track more with the headers on radials IMO. With nittos though the coverter will take off .5-.6 int he 1/4.

I vote headers... more power = more fun =turns more heads. You might need some tuning to keep it emissions legal....but only if you do an off road y-pipe.

Think about the converter, but if you decide to upgrade the cam later my advice is to think about the converter you want to use with the cam of your choice.

Headers are a no brainer, and so is the LS6 manifold.
