Default headers... no more loud mouth

i have the loud mouth exhaust. the older kind that you cant change the resenator. i have just bought some pacesetter long tube headers and am going to have to do something about it when i install them. so my question is. should i just mount a muffler in the stock possition. should i have a guy run true duals and if so, should i run two, or just one muffler. or should i cut the resenator out and put a bullet muffler on it. as far as price goes. i would like to keep it around 500 to 700 dollars.

i just bought some eibock lowering springs also, so i want to fix the ypipe that hangs down to low that way i can put the springs in. i got about three days to figure out what to do.

100 bucks you could buy yourself a smog tester friend.. that'd leave you 600 dollars to play with lol, without worrying about cats.. id definitely ditch the lm and go true duals... cats or no cats go two mufflers, just my opinion

well first off if your considering true duals and LT's for that matter... they are illegal as they move the cats from the stock locations (so you may want to think about that one... also depends where you live and if you have a hookup)

if you do go duals you will need two mufflers/bullets

slaping your LT's on and getting a custom Y-Pipe to help your clearance issues would be the cheapest... while keeping your catback
