    Cat back or headers ?

    As of now I have hi flow cats and an electric cut out, what would benefit me more ? I was overall leaning towords headers cuz with the cut out I feel I would see the most gains, just wanted a 2nd oppenion before I spend the money, if so I have been leaning towords Hookers.....I have pretty much made up my mind just wanted to see what you guys have done and experenced....It is going to be my small winter project so starting to get excited

    i think headers will be a better modification as far as performance goes it is a harder install than a cat back but you got all winter so no worries

    I wouldn't put headers on if I had the stock catback... do both at the same time

    Being 19, living on your own and driving around two cars, and paying for rent is expencive lol so one or the other for now....I drive with the cutout open all the time so thats why I wanted to get headers but im also leaving the option open for doing the cat back first, this is why I asked haha...

    Driving around with a cutout open all the time and headers will be loud. I too drove around with my cutout open all the time on stock manifolds and cats. I would get the headers though.

    I always like to test the waters lol but I would prolly run it half way open if I got the headers, but it looks like that is what im going to be doing, it should be a good weekend project....Then im going to have to buy something els lol, damn the mod bug likes to take my money haha

    You should do both at the same time or just get the catback if you can't afford it. The headers alone will help but to keep the stock CB with long tubes is stupid.

    he has a cutout... his cb is not stock and it has the added benefit of being quiet when he wants it to. i say LTs FTW!
