Either is good. I still wouldn't waste my money getting the stillen headers installed but if you really want them on. You definitely won't get a big power boost with the OEM cats on but good gawd, with headers and exhaust it does sound sexy!. Right now until my test pipes come in, I'm running Momentum headers, 350z OEM cats, and CNT exhaust and it sounds AMAZING! Real nice smooth and crisp exhaust sound. ZERO rasp since the OEM cats keep it from rasping but as mentioned, it is a power bottle neck. I'll post a sound clip later of how my exhaust sounds for now. I'm kinda sad it won't sound this smooth after the test pipes come in lol.

I heard a sound clip of a 370 w/ k&ns, stillen ss headers, OEM cats, and nismo cbe and it had a lot of rasp. Not sure if hfc will help the sound or not. Don't know too much about how all that would work together.

Rasp will be 10 times worse with HFC's if the OEM cats cant stop it.

I think they are hearing the headers too...
If the headers aren't wrapped to hell, Stillen headers make a tinny noise
