Go with the Pacesetter LT's and the off-road Y pipe (ORY). I did that with a Magnaflow cat back and it sounds and runs mean! I went no cats for about 2 weeks, but because its my daily driver, I got tired of the strong exhaust smell. I put Magnaflow high flow cats on...no smell and didn't notice any power drain. I recommend going with the high flow cats...

When you installed the cats did you just cut into the Y pipe and put them in or did you go with a single after the Y pipe?

if you're going to do long tubes with cats, i wouldn't buy an off-road y pipe. get your own fabbed up.

where in southern NH are you? i'm like 10 mins south of the NH border on 95.
