External engine is the place for this but you will get lot's of opinions. If you are on a budget Pacesetter is popular and fits good. I wanted SS but didn't want to pay Kooks or QTP premium and bought Hooker 1 3/4 inch SS for about $500 on sale from our sponser TByrne. Quality looks good I have talked to two members who said the fit great and had good ground clearance which I consider cause I am lowered.
