I currently have Borla ATAK cat back system and would like to get rid of the stock manifold and h-pipe.
Looking at getting the BBK Shorty Headers w/ BBK Catted X-Pipe. Installation will be done professionally by a custom car builder.

Need to know if anyone has this setup?
What is your experience?
Any good gains?
Big concern, passing emissions tests: Any issues here?

As it's a catted H-pipe I don't think you'll have any problem with emissions. The BBK TL shorty headers produce a 5-7rwhp gain.

I've got BBK long headers and BBK catted X pipes with a Corsa exhaust. I bought my car with this set up (and more) but it sounds great in my 07 GT. I've not had an issue with emissions. You shouldn't if you go with cats.

You'll probably need a tune with the X pipes to keep the car from throwing check engine lights so you should see a nice gain there. Shorty headers will give you lower rpm gains while long headers will give you more mid to high rpm gains.
