Default Need Help Figuring Out Which Exhaust System To Run

Ok guys i got a forged iron 408 and i need ehaust. My stock exhaust and my 408 dont like each other. I have read lots of threads and i am lost. I am thinking of something like tsp 1and 7/8" long tubes and a y pipe and cutout through my borla cat back or the same headers and tsp true duals. Basically i want a system that sounds nice and is not restrictive. I also plan on spraying this motor sometime in the near future if that needs to go into the equation. Thanks guys fire away.

I have Tsp 1 7/8 on my car with tsp ory and Flowmaster catback and I am very happy with it.I put a Hooker catback on my wifes car thru stock manifolds and that is a nice system also.I would not hesitate to recommend either system.The Flowmaster has nicer tips but the Hooker has a nicer flange system.

How well did the tsp headers fit? And does the ORY tuck up nice?

The headers fit perfect,and I just switched from the catted y to the ory.The ory fits perfect but the catted y hung a little low.
