For the most out of your exhaust you want to get long tube headers for sure. I have the pacesetter but there are plenty of others to choose from. Cat back wise I have Borla but some say it gets too raspy after long tubes but I really like it. Magna Flow, GMMG, and Corsa are a couple of good cat backs but if you want the most out of it you will probably have to go true duals.

What year/model is your car? Keep in mind, for an offroad setup, you will need O2 sims...

You can get a Pacesetter off road LT's and their dual X dumped w/ your choice of bullet mufflers for around $600-$700... Good deal. I will be doing it soon.

long tubes all the way, true duals are good but pipes will hang lower than the y so it is an issue for lower cars. when i have 3 people in my car you can hear the pipes hitting the pavement.

Long Tubes and True Duals, hands down. You will get the most tq and hp out of your exhaust. If you want something refined with good ground clearance, look into the Bassani True Dual kit.
