stillen header (emissions?)

If I install stillen headers will I be able to pass emissions? It looks like it eliminates the cats all together

To answer your question, if ya have any aftermarket headers, but leave the main cat on the car, you will pass emissions provided the car is at full operating temperature.

3, headers eliminate the front two....

To pass emissions, you must leave the car running for a good 30minutes to keep the cat hot before they test your car.
