what kind of headers? long tube headers will need a y pipe to go with them. if u need to pass emmission testing u will need a y pipe with cats. shorty and mid length headers should hook up to exsiting exhaust.

you'll need a y-pipe then, try get one from same manufacturer as the headers to ensure a fit

also if you dont have cats in you'll need the o2 sensors tuning out as the exhaust without cats will throw a code and the ses light will come on
