Default Headers with Magnaflow

What would give me the best sound and power to go with my Magnaflow cat-back? I will be using a catted y-pipe. All opinions are appreciated. Cost is not a factor.

LT's don't differ in sound quality, they differ in fit and performance.
For $750 you can get what I believe is the best LT on the market for fit,finish and performance. 1 3/4" QTP High Velocity Merge Collector Long Tubes.
For half that price you can get Pacesetters.

My vote definitely goes for the QTPs.

What he said.. I went with the Pacesetters because I'm poor... they went in BEAUTIFLY and look outstanding - I'm just worried about the stories about rust.

You looking for 1 3/4 or stepped 1 7/8?

If you're looking for the former and trying to save money: Pacesetter
If you're looking for the latter and trying to save money: Edelbrock

I am looking for the best sound and quality. With what I have done to my car I would go with the 1 3/4.

Go with what you can spend but no too cheap.
