thinking of a new exhaust system.

i have narrowed it down to two systems mad hammer chamber or stainless works chambered system. but i really cant decide whether to go with headers or keep my stock manifolds. i really dont have the cash for expensive headers and the exhaust, but i definetly will need at least a cat back fairly soon. also have to deal with the smog police even tho i would still be using cats. so i guess my question would be if anybody has used either or know anyone with these systems, and any problems with the state.

just saw your post, thank you for the offer but i really like the sound of the chambered exhaust.
i was going to get it from gmmg but im not sure if they are still in business. the other reason i decided to go with one of the 2 above is there a 3 inch where as the gmmg is 2 1/4. im still saving for one of the 2.

I'd start with the headers, personally.

GMMG will get really old, really quick once you throw headers on later.

I would personally go with the hooker, just from personal experience.

Go with headers. Pacesetters can be had for pretty cheap. IMO I hate the sound of stock manifolds with any exhaust

i wouldnt mind going with headers first but my local dmv inspection place are full of d-bags.
which means i would need cats and have to pay a shop to get a good inspection sticker. i should have kept my fla tag on it. but since i only lived there for six months i dont have an address to use down there.
now i am going to have to wait longer anyway, the wife surprised me with a cruise booked for april. i would rather have the headers and other fun stuff, this should be a lesson for all other not to get married.

As long as you have cats you can just drive to another inspection place that's not as bad.
