I paid 450.00 to the door for my PS LTs, with a PS ORY & Ultra seal gaskets, You really should do the headers first, thats where the main power gain will be in the whole exhaust system, a good catback (like magnaflow) will run close to a header change, & just doing that won't gain you much, the manifolds is where the main restrictions at, i'm like you, my cash is limited, thats why i went this route, it allready have the Magnaflow catback when i bought it, i know now with the headers & eleminating the cats it'll be a whole different animal

 

I think I'm likin the Hooker LTs ORY and the SLP LM1 set up with no cats pretty good, I think I'm gonna do this...even though I think I would beat the crap out of my LT1 around where I live...All hills and stuff and idk about ground clearance...my friend said Go with Mids though.

 

Coated Hookers are $940.00, plus the Y-Pipe? That's quite a bit for mild steel header. For just a tad more, you could get some coated Kooks and their ORY.

 

Exactly.

 

Actually, considering the prices on that site, I think I may have actually paid a little bit less for my coated Kooks and ORY.

 

I got my Kooks from MarylandSpeed in the neighborhood of $850
and the Kooks dual-cat/Y for $600-something.

 

I think I'm just gonna stick with Hooker LTs.
