You COULD go with Y8/9 headers, but you'd have to match it to an EX spec cat converter, and an EX exhaust system, or aftermarket system made for EX's. Not very many headers on the market for our lowly Y7 motors that I also have as well. Also keep in mind, that on the Y7 motors, the cat converter is built INTO the stock exhaust manifold, so as soon as you swap out to an aftermarket header, you can then wave goodbye to your cat converter, and hello to a constant light of your check engine light or CEl for short since the 2nd O2 sensor won't be getting correct emissions readings.
