Magnaflow or Hooker, SLP 2OTL if you don't care what it looks like. As for headers... the only reason not to go with LTs IMO is if you'll have clearance issues.

Yea Pacesetter's are def the best bang for the buck. I'd go with Pacesetter LT's with either Hooker or Magnaflow. I like the sound of Hooker over Magnaflow but Magnaflow is stainless. It will sound deep and throaty and then when the ecutout is open the earth will shake. Does he want to run Cats or no??? If not then go with the Pacesetter ORY or have one custom made so that maybe it doesnt bang on the underneath so much. Mine banged like hell until I slighty adjusted it and now it doesnt.
