Help me make up my damn mind...headers
ok i really wanna change up my exhaust. currently i have a stock exhaust with the muffler cut off. i love the sound but im really wanting some more performance, better sound would be good id like to keep it nasty rather than a flowmaster type idle but anyway. ive got a few different options.
OPT 1.
stock manifolds
2.5 inch piping
magnaflow high flows
x piped into true dual bullets dumped
OPT 2.
OBX stainless longtubes
2.5 inch piping
no cats
magnaflow DI/DO dumped
OPT 3.
Pacesetter longtubes
3 inch piping
magnaflow high flows
x piped into true dual bullets dumped
*********
money is definatley a factor, i cant afford dynatechs or kooks.
which do you think would benefit me in regards to performance, not ridiculously obnoxiously loud, and price???
thanks guys

if you really want performance, save up the money for the dynatechs. they may cost more in the short run, but in the long run, they will definently save you. if you are unhappy w/ the first result, and pay for another, you will pay more than by doing things right the first time. 3'' true duals will kill your torque/power, btw.

ok... the best way to look at these things is as a system. you couldn't expect to bolt a set of longtubes on an otherwise stock exhaust, and expect 50hp. however, with a good exhaust (DIDO, 2.5'' piping, high flow cats, good muffler, CAI) and some dynatechs, i'd say you are looking at upwards of 30 hp, (maybe closer to 40?) at the crank, as well as a comparable torque number. i've never had my truck dyno'd, so i am unsure of exact numbers. i will say this: decide on your setup, so that way you won't be like i was, cursing and swearing as i moved my high flow cats back in order to cram the longtubes in to get everything to bolt together.
fwiw, obx headers are chinese ****, an imitation of dynatech w/ inferior welds/labor put into building them. the best price i found on dynatechs was through rpm outlet.

Option 4:
OBX Long Tubes or Pace setter if stainless isn't important to you.
2 Magnaflow High Flow cats.
Magnaflow Stainless 2.5"DI/3"SO y-pipe.
Magnaflow Catback 15609 which by the way happened to be the third system down under Complete Systems on Troyers website.
