Greddy SP sound great with headers.

Mic on the cam does NOT do the sound justice.

Same setup I used to have, and liked it as well.

What about the Megan Racing catback?

What about the Pace Setter catback?

i have a pacesetter/monza cattback. sounded great the 1st 2 weeks, then it lost the sound that it had. sounded kinda raspy, not as nice. still decent though.

Cattman still makes catbacks doesn't he?

3"? best coupled for performance with the headers?

Y Pipe-STOCK CAT-Resonator-Magnaflow-4.5 Tip
All piping done in 2.5in
Sounds very smooth, and just purrrrrs thru the RPM's
The headers you have will make it more raspy tho.

Seems irrelevant since the OP now has headers.

That actually sounds like a good idea. You can buy this catback system and change the muffler out to your Magnaflow:

$132 is a steal for all of that piping and resonator. And don't forget, it has hangers too!
