Default From toes to nose

I am considering a new exhaust system but I would like a COMPLETE system from headers to tips. I would like to avoid the "pieces & parts approach.
Iv'e heard it said when modifying a motorr to try and use a complete system, I would like to employ the same approach on an exhaust system. I'm thinking at least the fit would be right.
Can anyone tell me of a manufacture who makes a TOTAL system?

Thanks,

Default exhaust advice

If you use high quality parts, there should be no fitment problems IMHO. I did not care for the tips on the Bassani (complete) exhaust system, but loved the look and function of their X pipe. Went with Corsa Pace Car and Pro tips. No fitment problems of any kind. All gaskets were included in both and everything went together just like they were meant to....

I don't know of anyone that makes a complete "headers to tips" system. LG Motorsports Pro Series system is at least headers through hi-flow cats through their 3" X pipe to the back connectors for a cat-back system. I think that's as far are you're going to get!

I got a nose to tail exhaust package from Todd at East Coast Corvette (LT headers, high flow cats, x pipe, and corsa pace exhaust) and the fitment was perfect no problems anywhere.He also recomended the vararam intake and after instalation i couldent beleive how much stronger it ran. Give him a call he seems to really know his stuff and good prices to.

I think StainlessWorks can do from head to toe.
