doin a little exhaust research
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?

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?

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.

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!

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.
