Default Exhuast HELP !

I am planning to get headers, y-pipe and a catback exhaust system.

Which setup do you think works best?

SLP Long Tube Headers
SLP Y-Pipe
Corsa Catback Exhuast

FLP Headers
FLP Y-Pipe
Corsa Catback Exhuast

MAC Headers
MAC Y-Pipe
Corsa Catback Exhuast

I definitely want the Corsa Catback Exhaust system, looks sharp and resonates beautifully. I am not sure which headers and y-pipe to go with the exhuast. Any suggestions, comments?

Thanks

all i can say is i love my hookers......headers that is. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> . the FLP's are good but have trying to get the oil plug out issues. Dont plan on lowering your car with SLP's. for the price its hard to beat hookers and there just as good as the others.

I love my slp headers and y-pipe with race pipes. I believe this setup will yield the highest horspower gain. RP Motorsports out of Atlanta did my setup and they are firm believers in the slp headers. They consistantly get more power out of the slp's compared to the macs. As for sound, I think you are right. You can't beat the sound of the borla or corsa catback. I think the slp's with corsa cat-back would sound beautiful! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I have an aggressive cam in my car with the Loudmouth. I wouldn't use the loudmouth on a stock car, but the loudmouth on a cammed up car......well, It sounds mean as hell! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> It sounds like a nascar at idle and at WOT it is F****n loud <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I love it!

Anyway, let me know which headers you choose and if it sounds good.

if money is no prob.....I have always heard <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> FLPs.....most power and no ground clearance....some older ones had banging issues with the drivers side floorbood... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

SLPs are supposed to be almost if not as good as FLPs, but they hang too low for any real lowering of a car... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

MACs are supposed to be a really good "bang for buck" package <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> ....don't get the MAC cats...they are supposed to be really bad...

I'm going with the Hookers for my true duel for cost and Hooker has a good reputation...they cost the same as the MACs <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> and will make more HP.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
