I dont see why they wouldnt bolt up? The diameter sizing shouldnt vary much from the headers to the HFC. Its the y-pipe and back you need to worry about.

headers? berk hfcs? top speed exhaust?!? I can't help you with the piping measurements, but those combinations are known for rasp and severe drone. especially drone on the top speed exhaust. nearly positive on that, but someone can correct me if needed. if you can put up with rasp and drone, continue.

I'm bored. so I'll return with piping answer after some searching.

First Question - why are you getting headers? Most people agree that the amount of time and money it takes to purchase and install headers is not worth it. The performance gains are little, if any and apparantly they are a PITA to install. Some people love the Topspeed Pro-1 exhaust, but its loud as ****, so if that's what you want , then go for it. Not sure if all that stuff will fit or not, but just thought I'd share some advice

Headers are a waste of $$ unless your going supercharged. The cost of install and HP results are negligible. The $ you were going to waste on headers/y-pipe and the poor quality exhaust can be better spent on MotorDynes exhaust system where you'll get the results in HP and great sound. Berk's HFCs are still a great idea to complete the system and you'll be legal.

Thanks i appreciate all the helpful info, i am no longer considering headers or a y. I dont mind drone but i do mind rasp, anyone know of any exhausts that are of equal loudness without rasp and of course better quality than the top speed pro 1 exhaust, and can anyone tell me there opinion on art pipe? thanks

I stick by my previous post, MotorDyne has the best exhaust with the best results in sound and rwhp gains. (no rasp) ART pipes are great but illegal since you're replacing the cats! That's why I suggested the BERK'S HFCs, they'll pass the sniffer test even in CA.

You can consider the following:

Stock headers => ART Pipes => XYZ pipe + HFC => ...exhaust.

top speed is the loudest you can get. You should get long tube headers instead.
