any suggestions matt on what i should do for my exhaust, From what Mike told me the SLP exhaust will be crazy loud with a cam, should i just have an exhaust shop do true duals, to compliment my headers? Will that quiet the cam a bit?

The more piping you have after the headers the quieter it will be (providing you have decent mufflers that aren't straight through like the bullets). I run Magnaflow oval mufflers dumped off of the headers, but it is loud. Straightline can do any of the exhaust you need; I'd do the duals all the way out the back like Mike said.

+2 for the guyz at StraightLine, believe me whatever price they gave you it is an honest, and quality of work behind it is worth it! No if's or buts. They will treat you good without a doubt.
I have a magnaflow catback and if you click on my sig it will take you to my fquick videos and you can actually hear how loud it is! Mike actually covers his ears LOL!!

Good luck!!!

Too loud is only a perception. What is too loud for you, might be just right for, say, Matt D., or Litle8. Visit the videos section and take a gander there. YOU alone get the choice as to whats too loud. Remember we have our own to listen too.

On my last car I had Flo-Pro Twisters dumped off the collectors and had a .610 lift cam on a 111 LSA. Many said it was loud, I didn't think so. I like loud, but can't stand raspy, and loudmouth is known for that.
