which headers to get
Are T.O.G. headers any better or easier to install than SLP headers? Does either one need to go to an aftermarket cat or downpipe. I would like to use the best kit performance wise even if it means replacing the OEM cat. Is it possible to retain the stock cat with either of these kits? Any advice greatly appreciated!

howdey, The only opnion I could give would be the cat. I would be suprised if an OEM cat is as freeflowing as an aftermarket cat.
With headers IMO if you are spending the $$/ time to buy and install, it would only cost a few bones more to get aftermarket cat, muffler, o2 sensor and the pipe work for the rest of the exhaust.
It would take a $700 headers and bump the price up to en even grand for the complete package.
pricy upgrade..but atleast the exahust will be at a top performer.
whatever you do decide, get jethot or ceramic coating. it looks great and it keeps the underhood temp cooler. Ive done it on 2 cars and swear by it.
goodluck
cheers

which headers
Thanks for all the info but I have another question. Once I install the headers will it be possible to change from a high flow cat for example to an off road pipe to compair the difference of the two without too much trouble, meaning not having to go to a shop for cutting or welding together.I would like to try different down pipes but leave the headers alone.

I am pretty sure you will have to cut and weld. I think you can buy both the SLP & TOG'* with downpipes that just bolt right on, but you have to use that one particular downpipe, so you cant switch to a different one without welding, I don't think. If you go to 3800performance.com I believe they have all of the bolt up downpipes on there so you can look at them.
