thanks alot ur a big help....ill prolly go with a stainless steel "rage" header....the flex pipe i just bolt on to the end of the header correct??? Ya im prolly gonna go to meineke to get 2.5" piping bent....i called em up today and they said it wud cost me about 200....does that seem right?? Im prolly gonna get either a flowmaster or borla muffer cuz those r pretty much the only good companies that make just mufflers without all the piping.

Ok basically to sum up i need the rage header with a flex pipe bolted on to the end of it....then the high flow cat(carsound, etc.)....then i need the 2.5" piping bent with a small resonator welded anywhere....and the muffler at the end... all that sound right???
