If you want to stay fully legal in PA, the FT-86 Speedfactory header is probably your best option. If you elected to go with a catless header, you could tune it to get rid of the CEL and still likely pass emissions, provided they don't actually look under the car.

Thanks Immaculate, and it's good to see a fellow Hokie! I think I'll go with the FT-86 header. Now my only question is whether or not to get the Perrin overpipe as well. If I recall it was only ~$200, so I think it's worth it since I'll be taking off the stock to get to the header anyway (I think).
And as for a tune, I'm planning on the unichip. Yeah, ecutek is probably better, but again back to the "passing inspection" concern. I'm one of the paranoid types, so even a reflash scares me since it leaves the footprint.
