Should I buy QTP long tube headers if i get a turbo system?

QTP is having a sale on their headers and i would like to take advantage of it if i know that i am going to need them. The thing is, i am deciding on forced induction, pretty much either a sts rear mount or a twin turbo front mount. I know with the rear mount, i would neeed the headers, but say if i go with GMR speed or ohio forced inductions front mount turbo, will i still need headers?

also, should i get them with or without cats? I mean i hear that front mounts would melt the cats because of the heat. I don't know about the rear mount though.

Front mount turbo cars use custom headers. Make up your mind as to the power adder first or you could be wasting money.

I have QTP long tubes on my pewter Z28 and they're great headers... but if you're going with a front mounted turbo, they wont work... if you're going STS, then I highly recommend them.

Depends where you live. Not all places like seeing a turbo sticking out of the back of your car.

Personally, I say get a set of Kooks if you're going to spend that much.
