Default I need some exhaust advice badly!

Well i want to get headers, for my truck. (i havent decided on which brand yet). But i was noticing that if i put on long tube headers that i wont have a place to connect them to? the ends of the headers would sit right at the end of my cats. And i know i cant hook them up to my cats. so how do i make it work? And another thing that blows is i notced i only have 1 pipe runnin to the muffler so i can only put one flowmaster on <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> . But oh well. Any advice would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!. Thanks alot.

Yes if you get long tubes you will have to get a custom weld up job. Good brands are Other Guy Headers and Arizona marine and speed i think that right. (AM&S) You could put true duales if your stripped your stock y pipe and had a dual system fabbed. ( you would have to get an o2 simulator if you did that, I think)

It would help your hp...... not too sure how much b/c I am not too big into the truck perfomance YET(haven't found what I want yet). You could have a custom y-pipe built and get some o2 sims(and get rid of those pesky cats) and then run that into a 3inch inlet and dual 2.5 outlet Flowmaster out the back to your choice of tips or maybe a turn down. I have a freind with pretty much that set up(well minus long tubes) and his truck sounds JUST LIKE an a camaro or trans am with a Borla system un-capped and about as loud!
