How about just adding a high flow cat (or two)?

yes those headers will fit. you can get the o2 simulator from the fast man (just do a google search for him). i put the long tubes on my truck and the o2 simulator and it was well worth the money. just make sure you order the correct part number y-pipe and you may need about 2 feet of 3 inch pipe. good luck.

I just installed the PS Lts on mine along with a 3" Cherry Bomb Extreme si/so. I like the headers but I'm still tyring to work out the muffler position. It sounded awesome with the muffler mounted at the y-pipe and no tailpipe, but I was worried I would get a ticket for the noise when I got on it. I moved the muffler back to just behind the cab and now the sound level has dropped at idle, but when I get on it. it cackles and pops along with a drop in power - NO GOOD! Today I will be putting the muffler back up to the y-pipe, then 3" pipe to just behind the cab. Hopefully this will be better. If not, I'll just remove some of the tailpipe a little at a time until it is just right. I'll repost when I have the results. As for the O2 sim, Fastman has them on backorder, or at least they had been when I ordered mine a few weeks ago along with the throttle body. I have a delivery today coming in the mail from him. Hopefully they both are arriving today...I can hardly wait.

hey ron i tried the headers with no muffler and i had no bottom end at all! it was like having a small v6 in there. run a single in single out 3 inch muffler(big primaries and collectors leading to single 3 inch is a recipe for good exhaust velocity). good luck
