Which exhaust route would be best?

[Hunter26]

I have an almost totally bone stock 1990 GT. The only thing it has is a K&N, 3.55's, and MM Full Length SFs. I would like to make it sound better and get some power out of it. I was either thinking of getting a Magnaflow Cat-Back which is $400 at Brothers Performance or I was thinking of leaving the stock catback and getting BBK 1 5/8" Full Length Chrome Headers and Short Off Road H-Pipe, which in total is about $370. Should I go with the BBK stuff and leave the stock catback? Or should I just get the Magnaflow Cat-Back. Ideally I would like to get Headers, H-Pipe, and Cat-Back at the same time, but I just can't afford that now. Which one would sound better and/or make more power? Sorry, I will not put a Flowmaster Cat-Back on because everyone and their grandmother has one. I was also thinking of the Mac Cat-Back because I hear it sounds so awesome. Honestly though, I really want the Magnaflow setup. One more question, would it be worth it to put Long Tubes on a nearly stock car? Eventually I wanna do a H/C/I setup, but that is in the very distant future. Also, any other reputable vendors that have better prices on the stuff I'm looking for would be helpful. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Hunter26

Anyone? No opinions?

Do it right first. Get the longtubes and H pipe taken care of. Then save up and get a MAC catback if you want it. That way you will have the full exhaust and still sound good.

long tubes are very nice but a pain to install.

try checking out some spintech's, they are very nice!! jadefalcon has an excellent clip to show off his spintechs. because of him, i purchased some. my spintechs are dumped and sound great but you need an O/R H-pipe to get the full sound.

Thanks for the replies, I think I know what I will be ordering soon

How will the stock cat back sound through the Long Tubes and O/R H-Pipe?
