I'm waiting for the clear image header, it looks to be like a very nice investment...

But currently? Maybe the pacesetter... although it requires a little work to make it bolt up

I like the GMP manifold just because of dealers issues. You know, it is a nice manifold. Its just the stock one port and polished in the inside. Its good enough for my set up since I'm going with all GMP.

The clear image looks to be a nice piece and the vibrant (if they didn't have issues) have a great collector.

I just went out and had a custom header/dp made for me by RD Fabs. They're making up a jig just in case anyone else wants them to make one. Definately up there with the clear image and vibrant for quality. Not to mention it's full 304 stainless...

I'll be picking it up Friday. Currently I only have a pic or two of the fabrication.

Either the CTI Headers, Hahn, or the Vibrant ones. I'm a ***** for the 3 inchers.

I'm a big fan of the 3" also, but it's not going to be a good size for the guys running stock or close to stock. I wouldn't go 3" unless you're running at least a 2.9" pulley and even then I'd say keep the cat-back at 2.5" and only have the dp at 3"...

I agree. I would only run a 3" if I had over 300whp, which is why, if I ever get this car, I would make sure to be running at least 300hp before I put a 3"inch header back exhaust on.
