best stock exhaust besides headers??? I think I am f***ed as far as headers go as I dont think my state allows them, so, what is the best stock type setup out there I can use to keep the emission ****'s away?
If its Cali, I know there are some people running Lt's, just make sure that you get a catted Y and EGR/AIR systems are retained. That way you will pass visual and get a tune so your computer is straight. Should be fine.
well LT's won't pass the visual also but... if you want to stay 100% legal or close enough for that matter you can run shorties (depending if your ride is '98~'00) otherwise it's not all that worth the bank. run a custom y with cheap (metallic) hi-flow cats ,in the stock locations,as they all flow roughly the same (according to my mouth 
) 
and a nice flowing catback depending on your taste of sound

Shorties are a waste of money, and you can't legally move the cat locations, so just run with a catback and spend the money on other go-fast parts. The stock manifolds will never outperform LT's, but you can still make some pretty impressive power with them.

Wasnt there some years better than others? And, I dont give a flying faaaak about the law! I will gut the **** outta the stock ones, put in a stright through pipe and stick one at the Y if they want visual! As long as my rear end says I am clean, they can go pound sand!

i know everybody here doesnt like them but if you decide to go with shorties checkout JBA's i think there made in cali. if i recall random tech makes a y- pipe with highflow cats in stock location. just something to chew on if you dont want to mess with say vette manifolds. cheers!
