so i just put a set of strano/bilsteins on, replaced the opti and water pump. time to get a set of headers and redo my exhaust, after 5 owners molesting it i ended up with a non catted 93 y, stock manifolds cracked all the way around and tons of holes in at least 5 weld spots.

im prob. gunna run the pacesetters i can get a set for around 380 locally unless anyone has a good reason to buy something different

not sure on what i want to do with the rest tho, i want true duals but i dont want my ground clearance to be horrible so im considering an ory and cat back and again i dont know what one, i like the slp loudness but dont like the raspy sound on decel as i do downshift in traffic.

so any suggestions on non raspy loud exhaust above say 3k rpm and good ground clearence?

whats your budget? I would personally go with the gmmg if you can find it. Check out youtube for some ideas on what the different exhaust sounds like.

for headers, get the stainless ebay ones for like $250 with a ypipe

for a catback, the magnaflow would get my vote for a louder good sounding one. doesn't hurt that it's stainless steel as well unlike most in it's price range.

^^^^ Agree magnaflow for the price and qulity great, i put one on my ls1 vette 2yrs ago and have loved it ever since.

I've seen several YouTube videos and they all sound about the same to me I guess ill just shoot for magna flow

I put on ebay headers and am building true duals with home made boom tubes. hopefully it will be done tomoro and i'll post pics. don't have any way to get a sound clip but with the degisn there hopefully wont be any rasp and ground clearence will be sufficient. we'll see tomoro. btw, total setup including headers has cost me $400

Hookers great sounding, and pretty docile under 3k rpms, manifolds and a cat delete, so I can say for headers with a hooker cb, hooker gets my vote, other than that, gmmg, and powersticks for true duals.

i have ceramic pace setter LT's,OYP and hooker aero chamber catback and really like the tone and how loud it is.i can keep it low enough if i have to(neighbors in the am) but it really opens up when i get on it.

hmm all good info but still more questions, i thought about the ebay headers a year or so ago and decided against them because of bad reviews saying the tubes were to thin. any thiner than say 1/8" is to thin, plus wont stainless headers turn blue?

stainless will change colors some in certain spots, BUT it won't rust like a coated or uncoated header.

let me put it this way, I have ceramic coated headers and wish I had stainless steel ones.

so whats the best stainless ones to buy?

I really like my LPP headers but he doesnt have any in stock. Quite a few people have teh stainless ebay headers now and havent heard too many negatives on them and for under 400 w/ ory thats a good deal. from there def a magnaflow for sound/quality/price or even a SLP lm1 and replace the resonator with a round magnaflow.

^x2, I would get lpp headers, but if he doesn't have any in stock when I get to buying headers, I'm going with the fleabay headers, can't beat those for $290 shipped, even if you have to persuade them to fit.

LigHtEmUp01

do not get ebay headers if u do i garuntee u regret it! and i have lts with ory and loudmouth catback and i dont really like it. i would get a magnaflow or the original flowmaster!

idformula

^do you have the ebay lt's or are you just repeating what you've read?

some food for thought many ppl ran true duals and ended up having better ground clearance than they did stock/y-pipe

I have pacesetter Longtubes wraped in DEI wrap with there Y pipe, The driver side fit perfect the passanger side need one spot dented to fit correctly by the lower k frame area. Also the y pipe on the driver side where the notch is needs dented a little as well so it wont rub the floor board. very minor issues, they sound fantastic, seal great, price is great as well.

What ever you do DONT by a FLOWMASTER, They suck and blow out very easy. Yes they sound good at first but even that starts to fade when they start to blow out.

I went through 3 flowmaster before i removed it.

kustom97

yea.. someone put a chokemaster on it, my exhaust is horrible sounding it rattles in the muffler when i step on it and even worse when i coast or downshift. someone prior just tore this system up so bad, im thinking of LPP headers idk the price yet i emailed them and was told there out of stock till end of summer. about when i was thinking of doin it anyways anyone have any fitment issues with the LPP's?

I have eBay stainless and love them. Mine are a shiny brown color and blue in some spots. I'd do it again for sure.
