There is threads everywhere about this.

If your looking for a quick bolt on that works great and sounds great, go racing beat. I was very impressed when I installed my RB Muffler last night.

Racing Beat is about the only option for you, unless you want to go custom. Very expensive, but it will last forever.

There used to be another option, one that was both cheaper and higher performing (and better sounding in my opinion) called Mind Train. You can still find one used if you are lucky and patient, but he stopped building them decades ago.

Bolt on Racing Beat is the best. If you got a good muffler shop. Apexi, Borla, Magnaflow. I use Apexi love the deep sound and oval pre-silencer from Racing Beat.

Power wise, the SDJ header. He quit making them but Robert at Rotary Shack bought the rights to them. They are quite pricey.

Just installed another RB header and exhaust and what a positive difference. It was alot better than my last setup which consist of RB headers, custom 3 inch exhaust with a magnaflow muffler that I purchased from a fellow member here. Changed out because a exhaust flanges had cracked on me. Autoxed last weekend and felt a significant increase in low end torque. I was so suprised! Custom set-up minus headers will be scrapped for autoxing and HPDE money!
