Finally got my exhaust in!
Well guys, i finalyl broke down and bought an exhaust for my car. I went with flowtech shorty headers, flowtech 2.5" y-pipe, and catco highflow cat. I have yet to decide what im gonna do with the reast of thje exhaust, but i like it the way it is right now! runs alot better and sounds great! A BIG step up from LG4 manifolds, leaking LG4 y pipe, and rotted out cat! Any suggestions on a cat-back system?

Probably won't save you much a hooker cat back that includes everything is only 280 dollars, plus it's mandrel bent so it's worth the extra money.
Oh yea all exhauts will rust eventually.

Okay, Catbacks 101:
1. ALWAYS go 3"
2. ALWAYS go mandrel bent
3. On stock thirdgen powerlevels, follow 1 and 2 then choose based on sound.
There are some good clips floating around, pick a muffler you like the sound of and buy up the catback. Prices range from $250-$350 for most catbacks that aren't really high end (Borla, GMMG, Corsa, etc.). Then take it to a shop, and for around $60 they'll install it for you. Doesn't matter if it's a slip fit or flanged, they'll make it work if they're worth their salt.
