If you run duals you might run into ground clearance problems, 3 inch catback will flow just fine with LTs and fit perfectly

pretty much stock. i plan on changing that so i dont want to do the most basic setup that ill have to change later so maybe 2 2 1/2 inch pipes?

well the ypipe is 130 alone and the duals would just be bended piping i can get done by a friend from a muffler shop. im guessing it would be better flowing and sound better (going for deeper and louder).

as for the headers i might just go with painted since its about 140 bucks cheaper than ceramic.

i will also be removing the intake manifold thanks to a oil leak. any gains in porting it or getting a lt4 intake? from what ive heard these intakes are really restrictive/:

Keep in mind that painted headers run very very hot, the ceramic coating is worth the money in my opinion, they do a great job in staying "cool"

so if i go ceramics is the hp gain really worth the 800+ bucks including the exahaust? is there anything more worth the money?

What are your plans and goals you want to meet with your car? Because lets say down the road you wanna do a cam swap, your gonna need those headers so the engine can breathe

Is it worth it? To me yes, to others maybe not, just depends on where your going with the car
