Default Should I get headers?

Hey there. Will headers benefit performance with catalytic convertors?

Generally speaking, the cats are going to be part of the mid-pipe (X- or H-) and not part of the headers. You would get more bang for your buck going with mid=pipe back rather than headers.

Not exactly, an off road mid pipe own't really net u much gains, maybe like 3-4 rwhp it will give u alot of sound. On the other hand long tube headers can net 10-20rwhp and a little sound
