Headers and Intake

[13nickels]

Its nice to finally be on here. I've got a 98 T/A A4 Red. I just bought SLP lid, bellows and cat back loud mouth II exhaust, Eibach sportline springs, bilstein HD shocks, 35mm fr 25mm rear swaybars, C6 ZO6 18x9.5 w/275/35 wheels/tires and 3.73 gears for the 10in rear, and i havent installed anything yet. I have a couple of questions about headers and intake/throttle body ect. What kind of headers are good for price and is a y pipe manditory and will it eliminate the cats. Is the Fast 90mm intake and throttle body to much at this point and is it worth the money or should i wait to get a cam and rockers before i get the 90mm. And how important is a tune at this point?

Not to steer you in the wrong direction because I hate when folks say it to me..... However having said that
I just bought my headers about 2 weeks ago. I went with Pacesetter long tubes. Also I had done a search and there are many topics concerning headers and plenty of good feedback. Its pretty much how I made my choice.
Also if youd ecide to go with long tubes, you will have to remove your cats. I'm not a 100% sure but unless you go true duals then yes a Y pipe is manditory (someplease confirm) Once again I'm going to point you towards the search feature not to be an a$$ but because there truly is good information there.
