You'll probably still get the CEL with headers and a high flow cat. Weld yourself in a bung on each side after the cat and use non-foulers.

If you don't know what non-foulers are search the DIY section, I have a how-to in there...

Agreed. I went with non foulers cause i wanted to keep the rear o2 sensors in a readiness state vs having them turned off by a custom tune.

Been code free for 20k and just passed emissions 2 days ago by them doing OBD and gas cap check.

I kept my stock cats on my 3rd Gen when I did LT headers, just moved them back and extended the O2 wires. On my old 2nd Gen, I omitted the cats, did the non-foulers and never had a code in 60,000 miles plus...
