Jet hot or Hooker Jet Hot coated.
Either one will be good.
I installed a set of Hooker Jet Hot coated Longtubes and its been one of the best mods I have done.

Get the jethots direct from jet hot. You will have to get the ypipe elsewhere since they haven't come out with a pipe yet. Worth the money to get them coated. They will be louder, mainly due to the lack of cats, but man does it sound mean. Had a guy yell out his window at me yesterday how good it sounded.

Get the Jet-Hot brand long tubes. They're a copy of the hooker long tube design but are built with much thicker flanges and better welding between the header flange and the primaries. Plus, they have a two-month pay plan that doesn't cost extra. I have them and I'm extremely happy with them.
