Default header time!

well i think its that special time in my vettes life to get some headers! My only problem is that I live in California so i need some that will pass smog (if such a thing is possable in CA) just wondering what you all recomend and if any of you CA guys can let me know what you have found. I already have magna-flow cat backs on my car, which i love and was totally worth it! Thanks guys!!!!

P.S also thinking of getting new shocks and thinking about going with these:

I wouldn't mind having headers but I'm afraid I would not uncap them enough to justify cost.
(last set I had on a street camaro Z-28 wouldn't keep gaskets on. Not enough the metal/cork combination. Got tired of that.

The Bilsteins are on my list of "to gets". Those look good for my '90. Think that is what it has now but
don't know when they were installed.

I use to have the sameproblemwith exhaust gaskets, they would burn out. The trick is, after you install them, run the engine, get them good and hot, thengo back and re-tighten them. Problem solved.

i will tell you the same as everone else, its all about flow in the exhaust not putting rediculous sized headers and 3.5 exhaust on a car then you loose all of your flow , and remember you almost always get what you pay for with exhaust!!!
