make sure you get cats or that Borla is going to sound like crap. Or you could also ditch the cats and put a Borla XR-1 bullet in the I-pipe to clean up the sound like I did.

Kooks or Qtp are great. look at some of the sponsors on the right they have some good prices right now. also like ddelallata said put in bullet in the i-pipe or I would change the exhaust. The Borla is great, but sounds like crap with lt and no cats.

Coated LTs for sure w/ 3in ory but as far as brand, Do you think Hooker LTs or Pacesetter LTs are "half ***"? my PS LTs looked pretty good and went on very easy. I think they're as good as Kooks or QTPs ( not tryin to flame or start anything, just wonderin what u mean by half ***)
DO NOT get Slp LTs unless you wanna pay an extra $250-$300 bucks and more than likely crush in the bottom side of passenger side hedder ( personal experience on a non-lowered car)

I'm a Kooks fan myself but you really can't go wrong with either one. I got coated for various reasons but some people do worry about them rusting and it does happen. I would recommend Stainless Steel Kooks and the Kooks ORY also.
