Default headers question

So I think I'm gonna pick up a pair of headers, I plan to run no cats, so do I just run straight pipes all the way down to my exhaust, or do I need to throw in a x pipe, is that a option just to run straight pipes down to the exhaust, I do have a borla stinger as my exhaust, any suggestions would help, thanks

First of all, get some cotton ***** for your ears.

Second, I don't know of a header system with straight pipes.

I've got Supermaxx with cats and Borlas and it's loud and wonderful.

Why not just run open headers if you are going this route? The sound won't be much different
