Can't beat Summit's in house brand system. Perfect fit, and only $200 for a 2.5" system complete from headers, mufflers, and tailpipes. Plus hangers. I put one on my '71 and I love it!
PS-It's on sale right now for even less! Only $179!!!!

I like the Pypes kit with the transverse mounted muffler. Good for clearance on my lowered car. Stainless won't rust either.

I love my x-pipe and flowmasters. The x-pipe increases low end torque. The sounds is great. People love it.

I believe it was only $12, but you can check Summit and do a shipping request easily without doing the purchase.
As Damon said, if you're going super low this system doesn't use the transverse mufflers above the axle. But the mufflers do sit under the riased area below the backseats, so ground clearance is very good. I've never hit mine and I've got 5 speed bumps on our street to cross everytime I drive it.
Here's a pic of my ground clearance:

Yeah, they're not straight back like the factory pipes, but I like them turned down better. Dusts anyone who's getting too close behind!

Planet magnaflow is a good place to go for magnaflow products. I went there for my mustang and the price cant be beat! I got my magnapacks for $375 from them shipped for my stang! As far as shipping goes $12 is what they charged me for all my transmission parts I ordered.

I stick with flowmaster exhaust and put their new super 44's for the mufflers. Sounds pretty good!
