IMO,with no motorwork stock manifolds will do the job.Save your $ unless you plan on going into the motor.But then again headers sure do look good. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

Long tubes with cats.

Cats may give you up to 10 HP, but long tubes are worth 20.

long tubes definately. especially if you are going with that cam like you said you were. (i think that was you at least...) but either way, why not just do both? i mean, you have to modify the y-pipe to fit the headers so why not just do a little extra modification while you are at it?
