Good Combo?
Good Combo? yo fellas i have been working and got enough money to know do my headers and exhaust. I was thinking of going borla on the exhasut and jet hot LT's. Just wondering if this set up is going to produce a good amout of power and a good sound. And is borla worth the buck? Are they as good as there rep.? and do u think this will pass a smog check?
I don't have neither, but alot of people have been responding my posts about headers. Seems that if you have the $ Kooks or QTP's LT's are the way to go. Ceramic coatings will just chip off and rust. I know people who have borla and they love it. I think it sounds pretty good, but too much rasp w for me. I went with GMMG 
and couldn't be happier. No pops or backfires or nothing. Just my opinion. Good luck!

What do you want? Loud, quiet? What is your budget? There are many options out there, your budget will determine which ones are right for you. Passing a smog check doesn't have much to do with the LTs or catback, it will depend on whether you get a catted Y pipe. You mentioned Jet Hot LTs. I've heard that the Jet Hot catted Y pipe doesn't work too well, so that might impact your decision, but you will have to search more on that to be sure though.
The best I've ever heard is SLP LT's (if you can handle the clearance), SLP high-flow cats, SLP y-pipe, SLP LM.
The sound tone is unreal. It's quiet below 3,000rpm, but has a trumpet-like scream above 4,000rpm.

the best out there are the QTP Stainless headers......they have 2 options... their regular header or their ultimate race header that comes with high velocity merge collectors that scavange better yielding more power..

I have coated pacesetters, ORY & borla w/no plate...the borla quality IMO is unmatched...fit is decent no internal baffle problems, sounds great and w/plates you can adjust it somewhat to meet your needs or neighbors when you get LT's 
Durien is right about the rust thing after less than a month on my car i already had surface rust on the collectors but mind you this is in Jersey and i drive the car everyday but salted roads + no carwash=rust hopefully it will stay as just surface rust and i can wash it away...If you afford them spend the extra couple hundred & get kooks though or as stated QTP i have heard good things about both.

do hookers have the same problems as the jethots with the rust and all, what about pacesetters? Also my budget is about $1500 for complete setup from headers to tailpipe. U think i should wait a couple of weeks and get more money to get better stuff? I have also heard that most LT's r rated about the same except with the QTP's and KOOK's u get about 5hp more. is that true?
