Need full exhaust
I need some help. My SES light has been on for weeks. Today it started flashing when I was accelerating and car feels like crap. Last week when I checked the SES codes there were 5. (2) o2 sensor codes, (1) catalytic convert gone bad (on the same side i was able to change the o2 sensors, Bank 1 sensors are stuck in y pipe and was not able to change them without rewelding new bungs), (1) Random Misfires, (1) DTC or DCT code?? Cant really remember what that one was, I have definitely never seen it before.
I am thinking that both of my Cats are bad and the car needs a serious Tune up with plugs wire, dyno tune and new full exhaust. Does anyone have any suggestions/ Opinions?
Also I have started looking into some exhaust systems, the Texas Speed True Duel Rumbler. What else do I need besides headers if I were to buy this?

Any help with diagnosing my problem or planning out a new exhaust system would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you have pretty good idea as to what needs to be done to rectify your problem.
Now would be the best time to give the car a full tune up (Plugs, Wires, New Front O2 Sensors, Fuel Filter, ect.), upgrade your exhaust with a set of LTs and a nice Catback or True Dual System (like the TSP Rumbler), and while you have the Exhaust Manifolds off the car, install a Set of Upgraded Motor Mounts. Either Polys or Solids, to keep the new exhaust (that will take up more room under the car) from banging on the floorpan.
You wouldn't necessarily need a Dyno Tune for a simple exhaust upgrade. A Mail-Order-Tune would be more than sufficient to optimize performance gains from the upgrades. (I and my brother had Frost tune our cars and definitely noticed a difference in the SOTP Dyno.)
As for the TSP Rumbler, it looks like it has everything you need to bolt it right on to a set of Headers. All the piping and some very nice band clamps.
There are more than enough LT Install Write-ups on this site that can tell you what you need for hardware and help to guide you through the installation. Just do a search.
Good luck.
