Default Headers/Exhaust Help!

So i plan on getting some header's and a custom exhaust system sometime in the future. Im pretty clueless with what all im going to need, or should go with for this entire setup. Right now, i just wanna get all the fact's, advice & etc. before i order anything. I know i wanna go with a custom centered exhaust and wanna run...

- Pacesetter Header's
- SLP "LoudMouth II" Bullet Muffler

I wanna do the job right the 1st time though. So what do you guy's recommend for what i plan on going with???? Im only familiar with "Muffler's", not the rest of the exhaust system. I know there's something about the O2 Sensor's not reading correctly after "header's" are installed & etc. Anyone help me with that as well, i was reading the thread about it but figured i would go ahead and make my own thread. Since im also gonna ask for "exhaust system" help......

Ebay LT's > Pacesetter's in a price standpoint. Gains will be about the same.

You might want to rethink the catback if you dont like it loud. But +1 about the headers.

Read through the exhaust sticky at the top, and you'll get a basic idea of what you'll need and some good walkthroughs for the install process. After that post up with any questions you've got

Yeaa i do want it loud, but not to loud where ppl will complain. Which is why i decided to go with the LM II, instead of I. I know the LMI is the louder of the 2. I plan on going with Corvette tips, those squared looking dual tip's. Not the rectangular style, wouldnt that somewhat help the exhaust not be so loud???

for LT's you'll need rear 02 extensions, simulators or you could tune them out. they're not really important all they do is monitor the cats and if they are not working properly the check engine light will come on. their purpose is for emissions only
