Header recommendation?

[blackbird0230]

May be in wrong section, sorry

Okay so I'm getting quite a bit back for taxes and along with paying the car off I'd like to upgrade the exhaust. Budget: around 1200ish?

Option 1: Texas speed headers. I've heard they are awesome headers and I don't mind throwing the 500 for them. They offer a true dual exhaust setup with them for 400 extra but they cut off before the exhaust....I don't need to worry about emissions but I would like a decently tame sound.
-If I wanted, could I have a muffler shop fabricate a custom true dual over the axel exhaust with tips or is the texas speed design the only peice that will work?

Option 2: Pacesetter Headers (coated) $435
I get the more common headers with a more common "Y" pipe design from Magnaflow or somewhere.... Maybe throw in electric cutouts or something with the money I "save".

I havent looked into other header/ exhaust systems so if you have another setup that does you well please share it.

this is the car

The top link is info on COTM, March 1st Orion will start taking entries for April COTM, just PM your picture you want to submit for April COTM.

The second link is a good thread about header options, full of great info.

Do you guys think I could run Texas speed headers with the 700$ magnaflow catback?

$700 for a Magnaflow? God damn...where you getting that quote?
Last I checked the slash tipped version was like $400.

Pacesetters if on a budget.
Kooks/ARH if not.

The 700 is for the dual/dual tip. I like that look better
Kooks are too high and I can't justify 850 on headers alone but I would love stainless, do you know anyone that has the Texas speed headers? Jordan has convinced me that they are awesome headers but I want the best bang for the buck.

[Mr. Luos]

Dan is running them and has liked them.

[blackbird0230]

well dans car is......fast. I'll most likely be happy with whichever ones I get. I'm just wanting to make the right decision

I suggest trying to find the magnaflow dual/dual tip on ebay. I bought mine there and was able to "make offers" and bring the price to around $550.
