Welcome aboard,
I'd suggest some Hooker 2055s $350 that come with a y pipe, and a Hooker cat-back $200-260, if you want the $200 it will require minor fab work.
sound clip in sig.

Here's what my setup is gonna consist of:Heddman#68470(1-5/8) headers,Heddman#17470(Y-pipe),Hooker 3" cat back#16822.
I'm gonna have to say that this setup is almost the cheapest and yet great for performance.
$400 altogether.
But Mark has the right idea if you feel like spending that extra $150.
Hope I was helpful.

I would get not get the tes headers being as they are not known as being the greatest flowing. I would either get the hedman because they are cheap, or the hooker if you want a little better header and want to spend the extra money.

I haven't sold the JC Whitney muffler because I haven't found anyone that wants a muffler w/3" pipe inlet that necks down to 2-1/2"

It should neck down to dual 2.5 right. I know that the pacesetter caback I saw did. I think that the hooker might be that way but not sure. The dual 2.5 would flow as well or better than the 3" inlet not to mention that by the time the exhaust has reached that far back it the gases have shrank and dont take up as much space anyway.

Hedman Longtubes - 104$
Hedman S extentions - 20$
Flowmaster H pipe - 30$
2 chamber flowmaster - 60$ x 2
Plus alittle cost from an exhaust shop to weld it up and everything but it should be over 300$ for a true dual setup like this and it will definetly rumble
I cant wait to hear mine
:hail: the 5.7
