need some advice!!!

I need some advice and quickly. I am preparing to buy my headers and I need some info. I have heard through the grapevine that hot shot headers are the way to go. I was just wondering if anyone could help me out in this buy. I already have a CAI and so this is the next thing I wanted done. Any opinions on which is the best header and Y-pipe combo?? Also I was thinking about exhaust but I was told to stick with the stock exhaust cause it's already a high flow system. Is this true or should I upgrade. I mean is it worth all the money for a cat back? I was going to hollow out my cat's but I didn't want to hurt my car or set off the sensors. So I need some advice on that also. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I plan on ordering the headers within a week. Thanks for any advice.Also where can I get the best price?

I don't have headers myself, but from what I've heard/read on the .Org... Cattman makes the best stuff for our cars in terms of fitment, quality, and service. There was a batch of Hotshot headers that had fitment issues, but I know many people have em and love em. Btw, the headers consist of the exhaust manifold and a built-in y-pipe, so when ya say headers, the y-pipe is already in there. This is as far as my knowledge on headers goes...

A cat-back on its own will not give ya much gains... actually... check out this thread... http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=348027 you might find some info there... snoop around the older threads too, there have been many discussing headers and such...

Hope this helps somewhat...
