Default Planning new exhaust.. What do you think?

This is what I'm thinking:

Hooker LT
Random Cats (Set up so I can unbolt the and replace with straight pipes)
Dual cut outs
Dual all the way out
2 Hooker Aeromax mufflers 3" center in/center out (Where the stock muffler is)

Cost about $900 for parts
Probably $200 to have someone do everything but the header in install.

Suggestions please.

Sounds like a good setup. Little pricey for me. I have Hooker LT's with straight pipes running into a couple of Dynomax Bullet Mufflers with turndowns. I only drive the car to the street races or at the strip so the loud exhaust doesnt bother me much. But your setup sounds like a good combo.

The exhaust system you are planning seems to be an excellent setup. Dual all the way seems like would be more power. If you run at the track--definitely Long tubes, no cats, and good flowing catback with the cut-outs install. Personally, I have FLP's Headers and Y Pipe with SLP Dual Catback with cut-out install rear before the rear axle. Car does run faster with the cut-out opened. Just for your information. Cheers.

You might want to run a X or H pipe to that combo.

The H-pipe will be right after the cats before the cut outs (I think, but not sure, maybe after the cut outs). I know the cats need to be as close to the headers as possible.
