LT headers, with 2 Maganaflow high flow cats and 2 of the loudest Magnaflow mufflers available..don't know which is the loudest so I need imput on that as well. But let me know if this would work thanks. Also I would get both mufflers dumped as well. Should I get SI/DO mufflers or just leave it as SI/SO? I'm currently running SI/SO 3" system.

Love the picture by the way but, do you still have the maggie, which one is it and do you want to sell it? If you are going with your picture, I would go with a SI/SO setup and put in a X-pipe in the middle between the cats and the mufflers, this would give you a true duel exhaust setup. The X-pipe will give you better torque in the low end and a nice tone. Right out of the mufflers, dump it (I take it from your description that you want it loud!) As for CARB legal...I can't answer that, but I can tell you that if everything has a CARB ID #, then yes it should be legal.

I've lived in Hunting Beach, California...Phoenix, Arizona... and Round Rock/Austin, Texas... Texas has NOTHING on California when it comes to women! California wins this one hands down! ....sorry to burst your bubble there...
