am I Just Being vain? (exhaust related)
maybe vain isnt the right word but ill tell you what im talking about...alright, im changing up my exhaust setup for the 3rd time!! at first i had stock manifolds with a corsa catback, now i have PS coated LT's and TSP true duals, but just recently i purchased a GMMG catback that imma put on!! anyhow, im not a rich man by no means (although you might think so since i changed my exhaust so many times)...alright whats been bothering me is taht im the kinda guy that only wants the best parts for my car...that being said, i have been wanting to get some stainless LT's for awhile and that was my first choice before the Pacesetters but the money just wasnt coming together...i dont have that kinda money to throw down without haveing to save for awhile...i mean i could save up for awhile but would it really be worth it? b/c instead of buying new headers i could throw that money into other mods you know, and just keep my PS Coated Lt's, run a catted Y, and have the GMMG! so basically what im asking is do you think i could use my money for other things since i already have LT's or should i just get some Stainless LT's? i know the stainless would last longer and look better, but is it really worth it? what do you think? i'd appreciate any advice or opinions...im just kinda beating myself up here debating on wiether to get Stainless LT's or keep what i got...thanks again!

I'm a firm believer in getting what you really want the 1st time instead of buying 2nd best and wishing you had waited to buy until you had saved a few more bucks. Just my opinion We all go about mods a little differantly.

If it were me I would get the stainless lt's. If you don't change it now it will probably stay on your mind and you will end up doing it anyway. Just my opinion.

I feel your pain man...my car is at Speed Inc. right now getting their over-the-axle custom true duals, and this is my 5th different iteration with exhaust. I forked over the cash up front for Kooks headers, but like has been said, if you are set on the GMMG, get a catted y-pipe fabbed up to your Pacesetters and go with that. Replace the Pacesetters when/if they ever rust.

If you don't mind me asking how much did you have to pay for the true duals over the axle? Also do you have any pic's of this and is it stainless steel and does it come with a X pipe and which mufflers? It must be nice since you went a long way's to have it installed.
Thank's

Once it is done, they paint it all as well. I have no pics since they started it today and probably won't have it done until Wednesday sometime. I'll post pics of it as soon as I can.
Out the door, it will be around $1500 with before and after dynos included.

I would say put that Money on a Cam and do what Meent said about replacing the PS when they rust or need to be replaced. I learned my lesson about not getting what I want the first time around. Now I try to do it right the first time.

I don't mean to highjack this thread so on the subject of PS headers I would stay with them and do other mod's before you change them out.
Now on the Speed INC. true dual's is that $1500 out the door for the exhaust it can't be for the headers too?

Now, along the lines of doing it right the first time, this $1500 true dual exhaust is my attempt at "doing it right," but unfortunately, this isn't the first time I've messed with my exhaust. I'm hoping it takes care of ever wanting another one.
