I would get 1" 7/8th Kook's LT's with Kook's 3" off road y-pipe, and a 3" electrical cutout and keep the stock muffler IMO. The reason why the 1" 7/8th is you might need them later down the road.

A good budget but quality setup I could recommend is

Pacesetter Coated Long Tube headers and O/R y-pipe package is usually around $600

If I had to pick a cat-back with good full throttle sound and a nice mellow cruizing tone without sacraficing too much buck, I would be pressed between the Hoker Aerochamber catback or the Magnaflow catback systems.

I think the Hooker system is around $400
Magnaflow is around $470

^^ best for the money. Or you could go Jet-hot with ORY and Magnaflow CB with cutout. Whole thing cost me $900, you can probably get it cheaper.

Pacesetters and Mufflex Exhaust may be an option but will be close on $. The larger Mufflex systems flow very good.

If you're trying to stay within budget, try looking at used headers and cat-backs. I got a set of used headers, a catted-y, and a lid for 290. Then I bought my hooker aerochamber muffler for like 85 and I'm having it welded in place of my chokemaster by a friend of mine. Oh yeah, don't overlook the motor mounts - old ones can cause the y-pipe to bang the floor sometimes.

I would say pacesetters headers with magnaflow catback for the cheap and Kooks headers with borla catback for the more expensive setup. I would choice the second setup but the first one is good to.

not required, but recommended when you get all the crap out of the way.

When you are doing LTs, it would DEFINETLY RECOMMEN doing poly motor mounts while you are there.

Not only will it be a lot easier to do with nothing in the way, but it will also help prevent your y pipe from hitting the floor board

if you drive during the winter i would ignore all of the people saying pacesetters, they will rust. if you go with the lpp they are stainless.
