sorry..

long tubes.. headers... they replace your stock manifolds.. if you have emissions in your state you might have to get ones with the emissions fittings, just something for you to look in to you might also have to have cats)

off road y pipe.. it replaces the stock I pipe.. this goes inbetween your headers (or manifolds like you have now) and stops back close to the muffler..

both are VERY restrictive from the factory... you will see VERY noticeably gains and will sound SOOO much better..

if your on a budget just get a cutout and forget messing with the exhaust, if you have money to spend then you can get a nice exhaust setup.. although i still recommend a cutout..

you need a lid! you can pick up a used one on here for around 35-75 bucks..
