Whats a good full length header for the price?
Whats a good full length header for the price? I've decided to work with the exhaust on my 97 6sp., i'm looking for a good full length header for the price & fit, it has cat backs now, but the muffler looks stock, how should i set up this system for overall max performance, i'm thinking along with the headers, maybe gutting the cats or removeing them, it has the one up on the drivers side, just below the flange, the other looks to be in the main pipe on the pass side. I just got it inspected, so its good for 2 yrs., should i get rid of the rear muffler, i met someone at the track with an LS1 SS, he said to work on the exhaust first & install headers, that i would be pleasently surprized. Any & all imput would be great.
Now if anyone has a good used set they want to sell, PM me.

Pace Setter and Hooker and two good ones. Check the classifieds. I recently picked up a set of Hooker Super Comps for $200 with 3 bolt flanges and all. Get an offroad y-pipe. You can also check the classifieds for a catback. Straight pipes sound like ****.

Coated Pacesetter long tubes can usually be bought for a good price. I got mine from a sponser shipped to my door for less than $400. I am very happy with the fit and build quality. Good quality for the price.
Thanks for the replies, now he did do some up-grades on the exaust, high flow cats, 3" main pipe & i'm thinking they put a Megaflow or Ultra-flow muffler, so if i was to add headers, what gains would i see? Will the high flow cats be fine, or should i remove them? If anyone has pix of there exaust to give me some ideas, that would be cool too.

i have pacesetter coated and love them. there are every once in a blue moon a person who has fitment issues but mine fit great and they were much cheaper then most other coated LT's.
Are these headers going to be an issue with the cat thats on the drivers side, i'll have to eleminate it, i'm still kind-of fuzzy on what i should do (route) the exaust after i install the LTs?
