Im literally waiting on the headers right now. sending em out for coating when they get here and actually contemplating on just saying f it and doing a full exhaust. but that will require me to wait longer on funds

So if I was to get this package, along with the Joe-Z exhaust, what would you guys recommend I do about the cats? I'd like to keep it as legal as possible because I need to get the car inspected in NJ and don't want it to be hassle

edit: on second thought, the Borla may be better for me (did you guys get new cats with a borla?). I want the car to sound nasty when I get on it, but I don't want to sacrifice comfort since this is my daily. After reading around it seems like the JoeZ would just be too loud and droning for use every single day

Any chance you could take a pic of the inside of the collectors before you stuff them on the car? I am curious what the merge zone looks like.

Why do you have to coat them in copper?

Is there any benefits for coating besides cosmetics? Looks really good though!

main thing is heat stay IN the manifold opposed to dissipating into the engine bay AFAIK. Which means less heat in the engine bay.

Improved velocity in the exhaust. It's difficult to beat this, and anything improving velocity is worth the money (within reason).

I too will be getting this package come fall time. I cannot wait as my current set up (OEM Manifolds, borla catback w/PPE Hi flow cats welded in [came like that when i bought the exhaust]) is just too tame for me. I currently am waiting for my bazooka tips to ship from RR Racing (PPE is backordered until early/mid august ). Ive repeatedly watched countless videos of FBO ISF's w/bazooka tips and its absolutely intoxicating. Borla sounds great as is but still sounds too muffled and less muscle imo.

Ceramic coating is a must as I hear the headers will get hot enough to potentially damage nearby components (i believe it was the starter that could potentially get fried?)
