Exclamation Headers, Cat backs? What should I do??

I can seem to figure out what I should buy? Do you guys suggest only headers or just cat backs?? And what brand do you guys consider? I'm looking for a nice somewhat loud sound but not too loud!

SoxX took the words right out my mouth! The new LPP LT design and the Magnaflow would be really nice. Same set up I'm running. The Magnaflow's got a real nice sound to it at idle and really wakes up when you start getting on it.

I have the old style LPP copies and Magnaflow with no cat and it is pretty loud. It gained me 30 rwhp and 30 torque at the wheels though at everything over 4000 rpms. Just keep in mind, it will get loud when you open it up, so always be aware of where the cops are ;-p

I know not everyone likes them...but I'll always be partial to no cats and a borla exhaust. If it's left wide open it may be a little rowdy for you but I like it. With a plate in though you can tone it down. Perfect exhaust and it looks great too.
