QTP stepped headers with the High Velocity Merge Collectors.. expensive and you have to wait for them. Then do a true-dual X-pipe with single chamber mufflers or bullets, dumped under the car.

What about SLP Headers, Full-Length, Stainless Steel, Ceramic Coated With The Y pipe from SLP?

They flow well.. but unless they have redesigned them, they have some of the smallest ground clearance of any long tubes made for these cars. It's your call. I'll personally be going with the QTP's when my Edelbrock rust through. Most LT's flow pretty much the same for these cars.

dynatech supermaxx's are a great header as well, flow very well. Kooks are also worth looking into. theyre in the same price rang as QTP. SLP has a nice flowing header but as stated, the ground clearance is less than ideal. you can't go wrong with a corsa cat back either...but you sure do pay for it. GMMG sounds great without headers, but its raspy with it, at least from my experience.

GMMG is great on stock manifolds/cats. But on headers as long as you have a catted Y-pipe there is virtually no rasp at all. But for the OP, if you want a Y-pipe setup, go with Kooks headers and Kooks Y, either catted or off-road. If you want true duals dumped, get the QTPs. BTW, there are a ton of stickies with this info in it.
