Exhaust Recommendations

Everyone, kindly recommend an exhaust system for me. Let me give you the parameters I'm interested in:

I will supercharge my engine and need an appropriate system.
I think I want headers all the way back.
I think pure duals are the way to go, but I don't really know.
I like the look of brushed/unpolished stainless, especially 3" dia.

I don't particularly care about sound, although quieter is better.
I really don't like fixing broken stuff.
Underhood temps may be an issue, since supercharging needs cooler air.

Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

Don't know about specifics of the whole deal but you should get headers that are ceramic coated. That will definitely keep the under-hood temps down to more or less 'normal'.

I've got JBA headers with the silver ceramic coating but have not installed them yet. Based on what I've read to date I'm not sure it was worth spending the money... We'll see in a week or so.

Not sure about the other specs since I don't know jack about supercharging besides the principle of how it works... I've read in a number of places that you get a larger benefit of having headers if you supercharge the motor as opposed to leaving it 'normally' aspirated. It sounds like you are on the right path of doing headers as well as supercharging the thing since they seem to go hand-in-hand.

Hope this helps a little bit anyway.
