there should be an H-pipe with 4 cats (I think it's actually 2 pre-heaters and 2 cats to be specific)

There are two 02 sensors.

Unless you plan on doing a bunch of motor work, go with a catted H/X/whatevered pipe. Stock headers are good to about 280 HP.. for that matter, if yours are trashed i have a set that are hogged/cleaned up, that you can have, pay the shiping [they are taking up space].

Cat back of your choice

There's lots of vendors right here on this board that can hook you up w/ the parts.

thanks schlodes. im going to go with a full exhaust. new headers, pipes . muffs the works. im probably going to go with a nitros shpt [ 150 ] or supercharge it. im not sure what to do .too many options to go with
i would like to get it to around 450 horses, wich would make it a true pony.
would those headers u got be good for 450?

Stock headers......................................

450 hp?? Pff, no.

If yer going to spray/boost/or do heads/intake/cam etc, get some good headers now then. If you plan on having stock motor for quite some time and tweaking on that, then yes, stock headers.
