Default headers or no

Ok so im trying to decide if i want to buy my prochamber mid pipe with headers or not. Im trying to figure out if its worth it getting the whole package deal from THR or if i should just do the cats and PProchamber from mac and that would begood enough...any thoughts?

I have LTs and did have the shorty prochamber on it. I hated the sound of it and its sitting in the garage now. I switched to an o/r shorty h.

Long tubes are the only thing that's worth it. I make more than enough HP with stock manifolds.

I felt a diff with my OR prochamber..both good and bad. Loss of low end power but there's definitely a noticeable increase (although not significant by any means) in the mid and high rpm range. As far as the sound..I think it sound awesome..the only exception being somewhere in the 1800-2000rpm while cruising for some reason is a little bit annnoying...not necessarily the volume, but just the sound in general. Dont think they even make a catted prochamber anymore so you might consider that if you'll have emissions issues in your state
