I have a 98 T/A that i have done a few mods on. Nothing real serious. I put a k&n air filter on it and cut the bottom of the factory air box out. Cut the tube off the egr valve. I am interested in putting a cat back system and header on the car. I live in Texas and have emissions here. I have read some of the forums and still dont know really what to buy. I want something that will not be a problem with after i install it and is decent quality. Money is also a factor as well. Can someone help with a few suggestions on some brands. Thanks

ok, i found the place that has the pacesetter headers, do i need long tube or mid lengh. The guy said that the mids lengh would bolt right up but not as much horsepower. The long tube would have more horsepower but i would need a custom y pipe made. Also he said that the long tube wernt street legal. I live in texas and have emissions here. I also found the hooker cat back system. If i go with the long tube headers where do i get this off road pipe at? thanks for the advice
