I believe in what Tony & Brian said, leave it alone and as Brian stated go with a euro pre-muffler or bypass pipe if you feel the need to change something. Porshagod had a good idea of going with a used bypass pipe but I can tell you after years of watching the classifieds on Pelican Parts I can tell you that (ab)used parts that sell for almost retail are pretty beat up by the time they go up for sale. Buy new! Why pay someone to work on your car for you, that is probably one of the easiest project to take on. I'll give you a hint, PBlaster.
Now if you are dead set on changing the heat exchangers to headers, then I would suggest going with a set of SSI's. Mostly because if you ever sell the car those will help you retain your car's value. Plus they are the easiest to mate up to just about any performance muffler that is available for your car's engine. Do your homework, you will have oil line issues to deal with as well since they will have to be changed also. I'll give you a hint, PBlaster.
Your car is now 26 years old, SOAK the bolts for atleast a week before your attempt to break them free. I'll give you another hint, Heat.
Good luck!!
