Forget a bunch of Hedmen. those are for old trucks. Pacesetters are the best bang for the buck.

ceramic coated pacesetters FTW...

the painted ones will hold up for a few months before they start to rust

Go Pacesetter. Flowtechs for third gens totally blew. Hedman's are very popular for them, but not so popular in the 4th gen crowd.

My coated Pacesetters had rusty water spots on them a few months after install, and they were not even driven on any snow/salt or through any big puddles. Go figure. If I had to do it all over again, I'd have just gone Kooks/QTP from the start.
