Headers, mid pipes and mufflers: best “combo”

well the best quality for the money and best engineered header is the hooker. everyone knows that
Agreed.

Personally, I'd do the hooker headers, the x from slp, and a catback from magnaflow. All in all, if you go with full exhaust, you sure will be noticed, no matter how much you like the sound or not. :D
 
So do Flowtech's which are made by Hooker. Just a bit thinner on the steel. Havent seen too many people with issues. I had BBK LT's and I had to take one of them off in order to change the clutch(damn T-45's)
 
Hookers are slipfit, so I'd stick with hooker xpipe. Flowtech are far from being the best. Maybe best banh for your buck, but not best quality.

If you do go for hooker, don't forget to buy rtv, along with a clamp from summitracing. I don't know the part #, but I'm sure someone does.
