Headers (for the last damn time)

[aaron at plosive.net (aaron@plosive.net)]

I'm going to go with the TT on 'the car', not sure what to do yet for
the DD..

The TT+cat would be the best/easiest way for me to go I think, plus I
like the setup. 

You can save me 10%? On the cat too? What would that come to for the
tri-y? 370? 
I could probably use the one I've got, but does it come with a gasket?
What would shipping be like 
(louisville, ky 40222)? I know TT direct does 5% on the total sale
price..I'm definitly down with buying from someone on the list.

Any other suggestions for the DD 16v? 

Sorry for the late response.. I've been working really late recently.
