Need to decide urgently on headers!

Alright as I'm sure most of you know that I am going the hybrid route within 7-10 days, I already got my '00 VI, and PF TB in. I still have to save up a lot for the ECU, but I'm thinking about getting the OBX Headers. I currently have the Budget Y, with Stillen Catback. I don't care about the sound but I basically want a substantial increase in hp, and tq over the current Budget Y, and Stillen Catback. Being that I will have the 3.5 bottem, with 3.0 heads which YEAR OBX or Cattman would I need to get? Would the 97-99 OBX work? I can't justify the 825 for the Cattman but I need to decide quick.

i would rather keep stock exhaust manifolds instead of going with those worthless Pacesetter headers. just ask Tilley.

Get the cattman headers. You're using the 3.0L heads so getting a 4th gen header system would make sense. Also the 3.5L max has the same stock headers as the 3.0L guys and many think those choke the engine a bit.

Ceasers Chariot has the Cattman and he said it yielded probably 5 more HP. But keep in mind I will have a hybrid motor with a '00 VI, and larger TB I don't want to spend 900 for cool looking pipes that sound cool yet only give me 5 more HP over my Budget Y.

i bet you think the same for a port and polish too HarrisH, huh?! The little improvements definitely make for a more efficient, stronger engine. I would go with what the dyno's say and get the Cattman's! Why go B when you can have A+?! The price is worth the benefits with the engine mods you're adding.
