Mini starter w/headers?
SLP Headers (1-3/4, single cat).
Do you think I'll need a Mini starter? I seem to remember having heard that some people have needed it, but I can't seem to find any info....

I have no doubt about the better quality, but I don't want to replace my 2 year old OEM starter unless I have to.
At the same time, I don't want to be under the car doing my install and find out I need a starter.
Anyone know if I'll need one? ...and is it a heat issue, or a space issue?

No, you will not need to replace it. I had my OEM starter on for 3 years with my SLP's before it had to be replaced. Heat is definatly an issue though. If you wanna keep your OEM one, seriously look into a remote start silenoid. It will make life that much easier down the road IMO.
