Default Another header question

Ok, I searched but there are so many header related threads it's difficult to pin down the answer to my Q.

I fancy some headers but don't want become illegal, ie, I want to retain the stock cats. So what do I need exactly?

I'm thinking kooks seem to be widely accepted as among the best, do they do a drop in solution for this scenario?

Thanks

Marcus

If you want to retain the stock cats then you need to go with shorties. JBA, and BBK are fine. If you want to get longtubes then you'll have to buy a matching catted X or H midpipe to go with it. I'd recommend Kooks for the least amount of labor and tuning issues.

OK, So Shorties are a straight swap out with no cutting, welding, relocating of cats and rewire......... yes?
