Depends on what you consider a resonable price. As far as best, I like Kooks. Bang for the buck, everyone seems to like Pacesetters.

You can't reuse the stock cats just get a catted y-pipe for the headers that you get.

Best bang for buck...Pacesetters.

If you like ground clearance, just make sure to stay away from SLP.

Best would be qtps or kooks from what everyone says.

Best bang for the buck seems to be Ebays, pacesetters, and even edelbrocks.

you can reuse the stock cats... you will just have to cut them out and get either a custom y with those welded or an ORY and have the shop cut and weld them
