SLP 1 5/8 headers and a 3" exhaust, Flowmaster IMO but you'll get other suggestions.

You read my mind, go with the Hooker cat-back, you won't be disappointed. Check out the poll about Hooker vs. Flowmaster, or check my signature for the Hooker sound clip. If you're not planning on putting out serious HP, then I don't see why the Edelbrock headers wouldn't be a good choice, they're a little more restrictive than SLP, but considering you're only 15 I doubt you have a lot of money to throw around so Edelbrock may be a good choice.

Yeah Edelbrocks are cheaper. I also like SLP's quality better.

Don't get flowmaster. Everyone and their cousin has a flowmaster cat-back on their thirdgen around here. Get the Hooker. IMO it sounds much better and it'll be unique.

There is a reason every1 gets Flowmaster, and they all don't sound the same.

I didn't say they all sounded the same, I just don't care for the sound of the 80-Series, which is what most people have on their cars. I happen to like the way my best friends 86 Monte Carlo SS sounds with its cammed 406 with headers and 40-Series Flows. I just like the way the hooker system sounds, thats all. To each his own.
