Best bang for the buck; Pacesetter coated LT's, Pacesetter ORY. I've got a TSP ORY that fits like complete ****. The merge looks great but after several attempts to get it tucked, it's just not happening. I'm selling this TSP and buying a Pacesetter. Good luck man.

Kooks headers, Kooks catted Y and either GMMG/Corsa

I would not do SLP LM2. If you ever decide to change cams, any straight through exhaust is gonna sound like complete crap.

LM systems are loud but there is no nice tone to them whats so ever.

My buddy cut his TSP in a couple of different places and it fits a little better, but still shitty. Glad yours is good, lol.

That's my setup (sitting in my garage until I install it). I wanted something that wasn't obnoxiously loud, and a stainless steel setup from front to back (I live in the rust belt). For that reason, I'm in agreement with jerflash - ditch the LM2 and go Magnaflow.

I'm installing ARH 1 7/8 headers and ARH catted Y this week into a LM2 catback. I'll let you know how it is when installed! LM2 is a pretty deep sounding exhaust, I'm sure the LT's will give it a good tone and not choppy/raspy.

Heres the thread I asked about them before ordering them. I haven't even seen them in person their at the shop waiting for install but do a search up top^^ "ARH headers" and you will get some very convincing threads. Most rave about the fitment, slips right on without ANY modifications to the car. Truly fit like a glove I've heard and they're easiest to install (big plus if your installing yourself) !

I just installed ARH 1 7/8 to 3" non catted Y to 3 1/2 Mufflex with Spintech with a single 3 1/2 out. The fitment is excellent, and really tucks up good. Sound is nice. Before it was Pacesetter's long tube and Texas Speed X and duals, obnoxiously loud and scraped on everything.

you wouldn't have any pictures of your exhaust yet...i was thinking about something like this solution for my car, but i wasn't sure how would look? if you do have pictures that would be awesome

I love my Pacesetter Coated Headers. Only $598 for the headers, y-pipe, shipping, and complete install kit with plug and play 02 sensors! I've have my headers for almost a year and they still look like the day I bought them, so shiney!
