Mike,
I thought Wilkinson offered GTS headers and mufflers. You had commented that they were the way to go a while back.
Have things changed?

Chuck,
Presumably your car has stock mufflers. Only Hall Big Bore headers will fit stock mufflers, and despite looking dubious, Dan Jones’ testing has revealed that Hall headers are really quite good.
If you wish to transition to GTS headers, necessarily that means buying new GTS mufflers too. So be careful what you wish for!
It seems GTS headers are no longer available new from the traditional source (Hall). At least, they aren’t listed on the website any longer. It’s possible other vendors may have them on the shelf. GTS mufflers are still available from Hall however.
I think the best headers for GTS mufflers are PI Big Throat/Mind Train, or Hedmann from Pantera Parts Connection. Factory GTS headers (which I have on my car) have pipes that are too big and a collector that is too small...l
