Question What headers and mufflers should i get?

Im getting TSP Trual Dual X pipe real soon. What mufflers sound the best and what LT's should i get? I was thinkin about goin with Pacesetters and Sweet thunder. And does it matter if i get the ceramic coated headers? Im goin out the back too.

Yeah go with the ceramic coating.

Bullets will flow the best and be the loudest...my vote goes there for a bolt on car.

here is the truth...if you don't mind the ceramic coating EVENTUALLY coming off(takes a WHILE) and turning colors (doesn't take long at all) then go with ceramic....

I have Kooks stainless steel 1 3/4 size headers and their y-pipe...no cats...I had FLP longtubes ceramic coated and I HATED them...they first of all had an extremely LOW Y-pipe...and then the ceramic coating started turning colors.

If you want some headers that will last forever get the stainless steel...I got my headers for around the low 700's shipped and the Y-pipe for around a hundred or so. It also has bungs for oxygen sensors which I don't use the rear oxygen sensors as I have no cats, but it makes a damn good place for a wideband.

Stainless VS ceramic....then you get to debate headers


Pacesetters are loud-3 of my friends have them and they are significantly louder than my car

Kooks sound nice (at least to me) and I like having a sleeper....but even when i get on it you can hear me coming..because its certainly not quiet.

QTP headers...almost the same as kooks..little differences

hookers-typically what people go with because the name has been thrown around and don't get me wrong, they are good.

thats good for now...

if you want sound clips let me know..at least of my kooks setup

Coated pacesetters and sweet thunders will sound damn good and not break the bank....that would be the route I'd go if I were you.

the cheapest yet is magnaflow high flow cats direct from QTP. its the cats they use in their y-pipe so you can see how good they are. they are $75 each.

i also have qtp lt's and dynomax bullets. it is definately loud but i get numerous compliments on how good it sounds so id be stupid to take em off.

I have pacesetters and a bullet, and I couldn't be happier. Unless the local police are crazy about loud cars, I'd suggest dynomax bullets. They are loud and sound awesome.

Go stainless all the way. It's better to wait and save for the extra cost because you will only have to buy it once. QTP with merged collectors rock!
My stainless Magna-flo sounds and looks sweet.
