Default Exhaust system

Hello everyone! So I am in need of some opinions. I have a 2002 durango 4x4 4.7L.

Looking to get a new exhaust system. I would like opinions on one's that give good performance and sound without being too agressive sounding. As well as not being too expensive.

Also looking to get some performance headers would like opinions on those too.
So basically an entire system from headers to tip.

Any other mods feel free to put your opinion. I'll be getting the superchips tuner but aside from that not sure what else it worth it.

Thanks!

Headers are a waste. Stock manifolds flow well. Get a good catback system. Magnaflow is a good one. Why do you want to replace the entire system anyway?

Why are they a waste?

Just figured if I decided to replace from headers might as well do it all was thinking stainless to make it last longer. Up the power and mpg a little and sound is the goal.

From everything ive been reading on all different kinds of threads others love their headers and it sounds like it makes a difference. Also curious about true duals.

If you think just catback is there an exact model you recommend in magnaflow?

I did. Said they flow well. Dosnt say they flow better or same. So my questions still stand and would like more opinions from people who have done this.

I get the idea that you are going to do headers anyway and just wanted our approval. As for which ones, check out the Dakota forum too. I think those guys pump up things more than Durango guys. For exhaust, Magnaflow 100%. Swap in new O2 sensors while you're at it.

What ever headers you get make sure you DO NOT go cheap.. you will end up with leaks garantee.. also I found it very hard to get a y pipe to work properly with headers.. I even had a custom one made but still a problem..

Exhaust well I have MagnaFlow and to me there is no better sound.
