You can see the "in" side of my setup is in my signature.
With the LT's I'm using the matching Y-pipe, 3" Magnaflow CAT, 3" Magnaflow muffler (5"x8"x24"), 3" tailpipe, and 4" tip... going to try the Remflex gasket and Stage 8 bolts.
I know I have to extend all the O2 cables, and fit new sensors.

Once I get the "out" side sorted, I plan on doing the H&S 1.7's.
Question: what effect do the H&S1.7's have on the sound?... do they give it a more "lumpy" cam sound?

i have the pacesetter y pipe, and a complete 3" exhaust. i used an slp loudmouth II resonator.

i cant really say anything on the 1.7's alone because im also cammed ontop of the 1.7's.

i also have the remflex gaskets, and stage 8 bolts. ive never retorqued the header bolts, nor have i had any leaks.

those remflex gaskets are pretty frickin sweet!!

I'm not wanting to open her up until absolutely necessary... but when that time comes, there'll be new heads, cam, and valve springs.

As for the muffler; I'm not wanting loud, but a deep throaty sound.
