Steve, best advice I've seen here. He didn't mention cubes, so 2.5" are probably a good bet. Duals w/a crossover is always a great bet. The headers though? Often cause more HP loss than net because are usually within a RPM range that most don't use on the street. Most buy them because... they look or sound good, but never consider matching them up with the rest of the components. And besides, most headers become scrap after only a couple of years because are never properly treated by their new owner coming out of the box. Glass packs have always been junk. The internals are like razer blades cutting into and restricting the exhaust. And they too become junk soon, if they're still made. Personally, I'd scrap the headers and find a good set of unrestricted pre-smogger manifolds and run the exhaust as you mentioned, if could get away without smogger pumps and stuff for a daily driver. Catyletic converter? 1/2 ton? 3/4 ton or above? He didn't say, and left out the counterpart variables to tune the engine, so your advice is the safest bet. Mark
