Just bought my first set of LT headers. Kleeman SL55
I just bought a set of kleeman KT headers for my SL55. Looking forward to getting them on and to hear what the car sounds like..
They require the primary cats to be removed and the 02 sensors to be relocated lower down.
I was also considering removing the resonators. Any thoughts on that?

do a search, once the headers are installed the computer has to be reprogram for new O2 sensors location to avoid check engine light.

It can be done. Just ordered LT's also and removing primary cats, as far as resonators go- there has been much ado about that and you should be able to post a thread asking for advice. I suspect it will be mixed, but I think the less restriction the better, whether developed by poor flow coefficient or by open chamber interruption, the cleaner the out flow the better. I am yanking my resonators off.... on a side note most S/C engines don't really need super high flow intakes (it does make a slight improvement) typically they just need more boost, lots of fuel and free flowing exhaust to make HP... just my 2 cents.
