Default best setup?

Hey guys, I was just wondering what you think a good setup of headers and exhaust on a 99 TransAm would be? Im looking something that sounds bad and performs awesome. Right now, Im looking at the SLP LoudMouth and I was looking at the SLP Headers, I heard that they are amazing, but then I heard the ground clearance is really bad so that turned me off... Whats your guys' pref.?

If you have the money to get slp's, look at kooks or qtp. Fit and finish is is cream of the crop.

SLP's do hang low. I have the FLP's and have had no problems.

Maybe consider GMMG chamber exhuast. It's pricey but well worth it, and would sound good wit some kooks or QTP headers. Plus iv'e heard alot of people complain about the LM sounding bad after more mods are put on. The GMMG gives the car a mean and aggressive note that sounds amazing.

My QTP headers and TSP true duals dumped sound awesome if you like it loud. The headers are expensive though.

Kooks are better quality than qtps, and fit better too.
