If you like ground clearance, not SLP's.

Bang for buck, probably pacesetter.

Pacesetters are a popular low budget set, the Edelbrocks have some fans as well, I went with the pacesetters, and am very happy with my choice

I bought pacesetters, and don't regret it. It is very loud though, with the LM. I think I'm going to try a diffrent cat back setup this summer.

I've got Pacesetter ceramic Coated LT'S that I love, Got a deal from TSP (Texas Speed Performance)on Pacesetters and Catted (magnaflow hi flow cats) Y pipe for $700.00. The painted headers don't do as well with heat management as stainless steal or Ceramic coated which hold up well. Therfore the painted ones tend to have paint peel and rust quicker. There are some threads on this issue. If you do this set up, invest in some Prothane motor mounts to prevent undercar bangin. Common with some header and Y pipe installs. You won't regret it. Motor will feel alot more stable. Mounts are about 50.00 bucks. One of the best Mod investments I have made. Have them installed before or during the headers going in. The TSP Y pipe is one of the best made, wether ORY or Catted.
