I have those QTP's and yea they are really low after I lowered suspension with Vogtlands springs. I'd like to go with tighter oval cutouts, to 2 big fake cats, to 2 smaller can mufflers. I just want the hollow cats so if car ever goes on a lift with some ******* technician walking around it he will keep his yap shut, I've had a guy at a Goodyear not STFU about my cutouts leaking and telling me to yank them - dude STFU! lol

Turbo. Will drive nice and be insane when you stomp it. Build a 370, put a mild turbo cam in there, get a nice turbo kit from Huron or Speed Inc, and let her rip. You could keep the motor stock and just turn down the wick a bit and run 550-600rwhp on a stock motor reliably.

Thanks for all of the replys seems like you guys do different exhaust set ups but true duals is the best? I had an x pipe on my Nova and I'm thinking that route. And turbos are a little out of my leave right now but if love to build a 408 Stroker it would just be a few years before I have the money lol

True Duals support any power you throw at them. The downside is the car wasn't designed with them in mind. So you have clearance issues if lowered. And they are loud.

But, I have the Kooks True Duals. They cost a lot more than others but the quality is awesome, sound is unbeatable, and it's something you can actually live with since the exhaust runs out the back of the car.

Of course, with headers, they are nearly half the cost of a decent turbo setup...

Yup.

http://marylandspeed.com/kooks-3-tru...al-p-3057.html

They are running a special if you call and order with headers, it's not much more than that price shipped. This is where I bought them from and they have the best prices.

My car isn't up and running or I'd have a video.

Here is what Kooks posted on Youtube.

Definitely way out of my price range so I might just but the exhaust in pieces starting with the headers and I'm not looking forward to installing them lol
