Ok guys and gals what do y'all think I should get for my truck for christmas? I was thinking pacesetter headers with an x pipe and two magnaflow mufflers and having it exit out both sides before the rear tires with some challenger style tips. Or all new bilstein shocks? Maybe some stainless steel brake lines? I need yalls help to decide! And im sure all of y'all will say lower it but I don't know about that yet so let me hear your thoughts!!

Hmm so $100 for welding in the cats then probably another $200 to weld in the mufflers and tips and x pipe. $300 for headers $150 for mufflers $30 for x pipe another $100 or so for tips and then $300 to get it welded up. Starts to add up......

Ok quick question. Should I just get one really big muffler with dual in and dual out and forget about the x pipe or just go with two mufflers with an x pipe? Would be cheaper if I just got one big muffler instead of two. Will the one big muffler create enough back pressure?

I think if you go with Chefreds exhaust you will be happy...he went through 4 diff setups to find the best.

Shoot him a PM for his exact setup, think from memory it was pacesetter long tubes to either high flow or no cats, then an h pipe to balance the exhaust with magnaflow mufflers.
