Default Header Install Tomorrow

Finally got the LG's yesterday and with the help of Jason (aka Gideon’s Test) we will be installing tomorrow. Anyone want to take a ride up to the Holly area in the nice weather tomorrow you're more than welcome to stop in, just shoot me a PM. I'll have it on the lift so it shouldn't be too much of a problem, expertise and guidance are always welcome. My place is real easy to get too just off 75 at exit 108 on N Holly Rd.
I need some help with tuning afterwards so if anyone has a suggestion on how and where to get this done let me know.

Got the cats the question is should I put them in or not??

That reminds me, I need to order some headers! Good luck with the install, I have been told that it is quite a bit easier on the C5s that the C4s

No they won't. Unless you're supercharged or making 900rwhp naturally aspirated the cats will not rob any power from you.

Well then I stand corrected. But why spend money on cats when we don't need them.
