you wont pass smog with LTs, because the cat isnt in the stock location anymore. THats why i have Jet Hot Coated SLP Midlengths, and doing cam and heads as we speak. Personally i did headers first, and id recomend doing the same

you may want to consider arizona speed and marine headers, or the SLP mid lengths over the macs. both of those brands have larger 1 3/4 inch primarys vs. the macs 1 5/8. if you ever make serious hp with this car you'll be rebuying headers. its better to spend a little more now than twice as much later.

I would get some headers before you get a cam. If you get the cam first you will be disapointed with the gain you get. It will seem as it was a pointless job. Get the headers and let that thing breathe first.

I have heard too many complaints about Mac headers. I would look into Jet-Hot's own longtube headers or Hooker headers. I have SLP shorties coated by Jet-Hot but that is only cause I got a GREAT deal on them.

Fit and finish, price, ease of install, ease of plug access all heads and tails above any other brand.

If you do a cam install without the heads, you will notice a difference, but not what you would expect. You would be a lot better off doing heads/cam together. At least get headers before all that though.
