Default 86" exhaust set-up???

I am needing to replace exhaust and with no emissions here in MS I am wanting to know what to install.

No cat, straight to mufflers? think I have Y pipe, but see X pipe mentioned often.

Not looking to break the bank, just a good set-up.... recommendations PLEASE...........

Most of the major venders sell bolt in dual exhaust. Get one of those and a set if headers and you're good to go

I have no cats, "X" pipe and spiral flow mufflers with Black LT tips sounds great. Done by a local shop in 2 1/2 inch pipe. Tips and mufflers cost more then the rest.

A simple option is true duals with a cross over. You can run that with muffler eliminators or mufflers of your choice. Dump the cats.
