Default Exhaust to headers

Since I have decided to get borla headers, I was told that getting a catback exhaust system would not be a viable option.
The headers remove the cat and there wouldn't be a place for the catback exhaust system to hook up to right to the headers?
If this is true, is there an exhaust system I can get that would fit my borla headers? I figured just a caback borla exhaust would fit straight to the headers, removing the cat. No fear about the cat since Salem doesn't have emissions laws.

Thank you for any imput!

That's crap. The Borla header doesn't hook up directly to the cat-back exhaust nor does it remove the cat converter. There is a pipe between the header and the cat-back. Obviously the cat-back exhaust goes from the cat converter and back not from the header and back. It's not like the Borla header is a long tube header, it's short.

Thanks again for the help.
I have another question though, how hard is it going to be to find a person who wants to install headers?
A friend of mine and I went to see an exhaust guy, and he said he didn't want to bother installing
it. He said the installation would leak too much, it would be too much of a pain in the ***, and I wouldn't
be impressed with the job....


An off subject question if you may: I heard that with fiberglass body kits, when you have them painted your car color, the colors won't completely match up. Is this true? Do I need to have my car repainted as well? The color I love so damn much..?
