Well you've already got the intake and exhaust bolt up a header (yes, header, no V6's here) to finish the chain. Get the TB after to finish up your breathing mods.

When you say cat-back exhaust, which cat are you referring too?

Just becarefull with a header, many are not street legal, but if you don't need to go through emissions, or it is a track only car, go for it.

Headers sound good but at least T.b. won't void warranty.

We are awaiting feedback ourselves from a customer fitting the headers to his car on whether they need to be lengthened or not. Like yourselves we are eager to get this info sorted out so we can start modifying the headers if necessary.
