I'll second that motion. I too would go with the FIPK and CAT-BACK as
opposed to the headers. (For now.) Good recommendation Jon!

I would agree with that logic. Also, if you change your headers,
you really should change your Y pipe at the same time or you won't
notice much difference. The stock manifolds actually flow pretty
decent, so in a stock situation, the restriction isn't the manifolds,
its the Y pipe.
