Complete Exhaust Replacement

have a 91 forumla 5 speed, changing exhaust from manifold back. From reading some threads, looks like the manual trans makes the header install easier? Only thing I noticed was the oem starter issues, is there another starter smaller in size you guys suggest? Trying to save a few $$ on the headers, is there a huge difference in performance between the hedman and the hooker LT's? Is the ceramic worth the extra $$? Or is buying some cans of VHT header paint going to suffice? Going with any high flow cat, is there really any major difference in flow/performance in anyone's opinion? From the clips I have heard on here, the hooker cat back sounds great, but I want something that performs better. Is there one system that sticks out more then another on performance alone? Thanks in advance!

Re: Complete Exhaust Replacement

Sorry your answers have not been answered! I would say go with the ceramic, as they dissapate heat better, dont get as hot, and are resistant to coloring and warpage.

As far as to your starter and headers, You can get a smaller starter with equal power, but it's gonna more expensive!
