IMO i think headers are a great way to make you car louder. LT with O/R pipe with SLP loudmouth will be soo loud.

O/R pipes are always a bad call! illegal, fines, impounded, inspection, emissions, MIL eliminators, tuning, no performance advantage. All Bad things. Keep cats!!!!!!

white shift knobs are good for at least 25 RWHP. I have one and could feel a huge gain!

Just hold off and do it all at once. You'll get better pricing by doing it like that and only pay labor once.

LT dont make your car loud all the time, i have MAC LT with an O/R h-pipe, it needs no tuning other than turning off the rear O2s, (i needed a tuner for the gears so i had him fix that because i was getting LTs soon) As for emissions i have a friend in Houston TX with a turbo f150 and it passed emissions, in Oklahoma we dont have any inspections or testing what so ever (you should see some of the shit on the road here). LTs are a pain in the ass to install but it ranks high in the mod list for my car with nitrous being number 1, its a toss up with the gears for number 2.

its still illegal w/ the cops who WILL give your tho9usand dollar fines and WILL impound your car. And ther is at most a 2 RWHP difference in performance. High flow aftermarket cats flow just as well nowadays. You'll still need MIL eliminators and a tune, which negates to potential savings from price difference. NOT WORTH IT IMO.
