Get a full cat back exhaust system like Borla, SLP, or Flowmaster.

How much will you have left after repairs?

You can get a nice catback for about $250, and a nice set of used shorty headers for around $250 as well. Youd come out with a full exhaust for pretty cheap.

That's what I'd do.

How long did it take you to put your headers on? Seems like its a really tight. I'm planning on putting headers on and i hate to get frustrated lol. Is it worth getting someone to do the work or did it go with just normal minor fitment problems? Also i was told the 94-95 headers (SLP) flow better then 96 so i was going to put those on but they are single cat. I have the dual cat y pipe on my car. Anyone do this before and if so let me know what pieces i would need to have modified or replaced. Thanks

What are the advantages of the long tubes? I have the borla catback right now I'm not sure yet if i wanna go with something a bit more aggressive (this borla is quiet both tips leave the muffler) or I just wanna keep the sleeper appearance.
