God people are only charging 300-400 these days? That might be worth it. Considering all the cussing , bloody hands , and awkward positions you have to be in for a day.
Still the sasitifaction of doing it your self is well worth it.
if I put headers on it im not going to get any check engine lights or issues like that?, dont I need new CAT's?..i have the aftermarket X-pipe on there now is that going to be an issue?

Yes if you don't want to throw codes you have to run cats. But not running cats you actualy pick up a few extra horsepower and it sounds better in my opinion. When you get it tuned later on they can just tune the codes out and the check engine light will go away.
So seeing a check engine light for a little bit is definitely worth the performance and sound
If you don't run cats you might gain a couple of hp versus running state-of-the-art high flow cats, but if you are any where they do emissions testing, you also give any LEO the right to impound your car because it is a federal offense to remove cats (in all 50 states). Also, your exhaust is going to smell real bad.
I just noticed you live in NJ. You should already know what a pain inspection is in this state. If not stock cats, run some high flows like Random Technologies, for example. My friend has a re-inspector license at the dealer he works at and knows the facts concerning not running cats. On OBD II cars, when your car is inspected, the test machine plugs into your computer and sends info directly to Trenton.

eek you seem like a cat hater! I have never had a smelling problem or a problem with the cops with my cars. but I guess I do live in iowa lol.

the after market x pipe you have currently will need to be replaced.Headers usually come with a matching x pipe or you have to pay a little extra to get a matching one.DO NOT install long tubes without the matching x pipe.Nothing will fit.
