what is a good exhaust, header combination I am trying to find out a good header exhaust combination. I am thinking hooker long tubes with hooker y to hooker catback. But then there is the price. Any input is appreciated. What would you do. Also with long tubes does it go directly to the y pipe or are there cats.

Re: what is a good exhaust, header combination I can tell you what ISN'T a good header/exhaust combo.......headers with Loudmouth.
My car now sounds like a UPS truck. Of course, this is just personal opinion. Some people like the rasp / fart sound.

Re: what is a good exhaust, header combination I am also looking into the gmmg inc chambered exhaust. It sounds great, plus I love the way it looks under the rear of the car. Would a good combination for this exhaust be some hooker shortys with stock cats and stock y (or whats a good replacement), into 3 inch pipe all the way back to the chambers.
This seems like a better choice because I think they sound awesome, but I just dont know what I should do about the stock cats and y. Any other suggestions.

Re: what is a good exhaust, header combination I agree, the loudmouth is awful sounding with the off road y. Raspy as a ****.
hooker with cats and dual/dual will sound good with zero rasp, but its on the quiet side.

Re: what is a good exhaust, header combination I just purchased a coated set of long tuber Pace Setter headers and a non coated y-pipe for 530.00, can't beat that ;-)
From what I hear, they dyno high and fit snug.

Re: what is a good exhaust, header combination One more question. What is the benefit of coating the headers, I mean an extra 200 bucks almost for coating on the hooker lt. Is it worth the extra cash in reguards to durability and life, or is it mainly for asthetics.
