Catback Exhaust plus X-Pipe?

On your '90 the manifolds and the "cats" are an assembly on each side. You can't eliminate the "cat" without doing something to replace the manifold also. It's not cost effective to use the '93+ manifolds and "cats" then later do the headers and eliminate the "cats". You might as well just do it "once" and settle all of the fitment issues, the tune etc. You'll end up much happier and I'd think it also cost effective to just do it "once" and be done. There's much less of a chance of fitment issues also.

That is what I was thinking but I thought I would ask the question. I emailed Marc also and he said no need to reflash until I do the headers. I am thinking Christmas/New Years time frame for the headers and the reflash. Exhaust has been procured, can't wait for an upgraded sound and a little performance to boot.
