Default Exhaust

Hey guys im getting ready to put an exhaust on my 02, and wanted to know what people thought about the american racing headers and a billy boat exhaust. i dont know much about either. What would be a good setup for the AR headers? What exaust system?. Also i was thinking if those arent worth it then id go with hooker headers and a corsa cat back. what do you guys think?

ARH headers are an excellent choice! another couple of options that are very close to the ARH headers are kooks and QTP. all are very well made and decently priced. as far as the exhaust piping, id go with TDs. most people get a Y pipe and catback and eventually end up goin to TDs. why not save the money, put it into somethin else and do it right the first time. my custom TDs only cost me 250 w/ mufflers and picked up power over my LTs, o/r Y and lm2 setup. just my .02

Both ARH and Billy Boat have excellent reputations.

Ok. so if money wasnt a problem, what setup would put down the most power and still be street legal?
