Yeah, most people run catbacks with headers. If you can find a good shop to do them though true duals are the way to go.

Y pipe is where you run in to clearance issues, the cat backs tuck up like stock did, no ground clearance sacrifice, it's the Y pipe you run in to issues with. Or at least I have with my set up.

I have LT's with a Magnflow and the only clearance issue I have is over speed bumps... and thats really only if I speed over them, If I slow down I never touch.. But I also ride at stock hight.
