have you changed the front suspension?
a lot of the power conversions interfere with headers and specific ones are needs to get by the steering I believe.

I would definitely go with headers.

As far as the exhaust tubing, it is OK to run a single so long as it steps up in size after the systems merge with a Y-pipe or a transitioned through dual inlet, single outlet muffler. For example, dual 2.5-inch collectors can merge and exit through a single 3-inch tube.

.. but dual exhaust tips have the cool factor IMO.

Personally I would run headers and dual exhaust. My reasoning is that the headers really open up the engine and as far as the dual exhaust goes I just believe vehicles should be simetrical

Headers, Dual exhaust with 2.5 piping, and exit out right in front of rear tires.

I'm currently running without any fancy tips - haven't found amy tips that habe that unique cool, not flashy, look

Ok thank you everyone Ill have to get the money but when I do i guess I'll get headers and dual exhaust but it makes since just so it will let it breathe better and won't have so much backpressure.
