+1 for x-pipe and dynomax bullets. I also went the cheap route and got eBay LT's for $190 new lol! Been on the car for 1 1/2years.. No issues. Get good header gaskets tho.

So I have a question what if you dont run an X or H pipe but insted run stright true true duals. how will those do power wise and why don't you hear more people doing that?

I talked a bit about that in an earlier reply:

Don't get me wrong, all will sound good, but the most muscular note will come from no crossover.

Now, best power is a different discussion. If that is your primary goal, the three options above fall in reverse order, with X-pipe being the top choice, H-pipe being a close second, and straight duals last.

are you doing headers??

Get you a set of Pacesetters (pretty cheap) and texas speed true duals.

then get your self a tune and you'll feel like your driving a different car.

if your going to get a shop to fab some duals for you, i would suggest going with bullets over the flowmasters

and as everyone else is pretty much saying, go with an X-pipe, there is a reason most everyone chooses an X-pipe over a H-pipe
