Defenitly get Fel-Pro gaskets with Stage 8's. I ran those with my T/A & I never had a problem after I switched to the fel-pro gaskets with alittle red permatex strategically placed. Only thing Im not keen on about the Stage 8's is getting those locking clips on. I thought it was hard in a 3rd gen w/ A/C I cant imagine for a LT1.
If your good for 2 years, just go with a 3" ORY and have a old catshield welded somewhere over the pipes, just incase you do get looked at underneath they will see a stock 1996 cat.
Im probably going to run emmission compatible coated Arizona Speed & Marina headers with their 3" ORY. The price is really good and I hear they have a good reputation. That is if I decided to keep it real 8)
