I think you really need to do heads first to notice anything with shorty headers. With stock E7's...i'd say save your cash. With heads and other supporting mods...then yes i'd do them...which I did.

But I've all but ordered my BBK Ceramic Long Tubes. Really can't wait to feel the increase in torque along with my 40P heads :)

Good point. I admit I DID know I would be putting in TFS TW heads and cam when I chose my other parts. Only $$$ prevented doing it all at one time.

MMMMMmmmmmm!!! Nice! Not an option for me, as I still need cats in NH for another 5-6 years. But then, I'm a bit of a greenie, so I'll probably keep the cats anyway.

I haven't decided on which mid-pipe to get though. H or X? Cats...or not? A off-road mid pipe is $125...with cats is $350 :( I'll prob get a catted H-pipe
