Every reputable manufacturer of aftermarket long-tube headers for most other cars offer cats as an option. I can't see why Fast Intentions will be any different.

On the flipside: Headers are a royal PITA to install on our cars, and the running opinion among us that installed the Stillen short-tubes is that at least without ECU tuning, they aren't worth the expense and install effort.

Obviously the long-tubes will hopefully do better than the shorts (probably both pre- and post- ECU tuning for them), but they're still going to be a relatively high cost/pain:gains ratio compared to most other available bolt-ons. That probably means most of the market won't bother with them, and that for those that do want to go the extra mile for the headers, dealing with the lack of HFCs (using O2 fakes or ECU tuning to delete the code, dealing with legality in some states, etc) is a relatively minor issue to be concerned about, all things considered. Just my $0.02.

man i miss the old days when headers were just that...nowadays cars have to have all the pollution controlled stuff...

hopefully Tonys will be o2 sensor compliant, atleast so as not to throw CELs...

Best of luck with the site Tony, I'm sure it will work out and look great in the end.
