So failed devices, tsp headers and sweet thunder would be a good set up? Ive been going back and forth between the moroso spirals and sweet thunder.

Either is good, but I'm partial to the sweet thunders. I too thought I'd be ready for the sound and drone, but after DDing it for a while it wears on you. If it was a weekend car, then definately true duals, but as a DD even in bad weather, I might look elsewhere. Smell is pretty bad in traffic, I won't lie lol, and I don't even have duals.

TSP 1 7/8" stainless steel will be the best for you right now, whether to go TD's or y pipe is up to you. Personally I'd consider the electric cutout a bit more as it will save you on ground clearance, drone and overall noise when you don't want it.

Hmm ok, thanks for the advice. Youve been a big help. I'll just have to mull it over for a little. Oh, question, what does this "smell" smell like?

The smell comes when you remove your cats and smells not so great. Ever been behind an old school muscle car and catch a wiff of their smell? It's that smell. I have a slight exhaust leak where my ORY meets my LM2 and sitting with the windows down just idling, i get a bit lightheaded within a few minutes; when moving you can't smell it. Just gets annoying after a while if you DD and have to sit in traffic for a bit and whatnot, its just something else to think about/consider when choosing TD's.

1 7/8 headers are only if you plan on doing MORE than basic bolt-ons, else you will shortchange yourself with some low-end tq.

No you won't. You gain power throughout the RPM's over 1 3/4" even on a bolton car.

Well i am planning on doing many more bolt-ons in the future and then a cam, and if time and money permits, some type of forced induction. I havent decided between turbo or super, but thats a whole other thread and it will be based on preference. But thanks liberty
