Default TPIS header question

I have an opportunity to pick up a set of TPIS LT headers for a decent price. They are mated to factory cats and xpipe. My questions is, do the 02 sensor's require extensions for this header? Is it worth changing to high flow cats??

Any help apprecitated

What are your primaries? Will that affect if you need extensions or not?

From what I read the only high flows that will mate up to the TPIS are the "Random Technology" cats...kind a pricey

Don't worry I won't tell your local LEO about what your running

All I have is the TPIs, stock center section and stock CATS , Borla Stingers.... so with that setup no extensions needed...

I don't know what will bolt of as far as CATS go but I find it hard to believe that is your only option...I am thinking maybe a generic hi -flow maybe??? Again I don't know but someone here must

I run TPiS LTs and Randon Tech high flow cats and X-pipe.

Dont do the LTs unless you can add the high flow cats, x pipe and low resistance mufflers / exhaust and beleive it or not a CAI plus a great tune.

Its the WHOLE pacakge not just the LTs that makes the difference.

Went from GHL Bullets to Straight pipes.
