If you like it loud, want a great aggressive sound, improved fuel economy, more horsepower and torque, then go with headers into 2" pipes all the way to the rear bumper with no cats or mufflers at all. You'll save a lot cause you'll only pay for the pipes and bending, and if you're like me, you'll love it when everyone always says, "Holy s**t, that sounds awesome, what exhaust are you running?" and see the look on their faces when you tell 'em it's just straight pipe. Personally, I live in Florida where there are no inspections or emission checks, but, I've always run no mufflers or cats in every state I've ever lived in regardless. If the government wants to tell me what I can run or not run on my personal vehicle, then I'll listen when the government starts to pay for the fuel and insurance for my vehicle.
