here is what i am thinking for my exhaust

a MAC o/r h pipe for my stock headers http://www.stangmods.com/MAC-H-Pipe-p/00549-34020.htm 

and because i have emmisions in maryland a set of pypes of 2.5 mini cats http://www.rpmoutlet.com/mach1maccat2.htm

and then a set of GT takeoffs with flowmaster super 40's which i cant seem to find at this time.

what does every body think of this set up, what should i expect for power and sound.

future mods are to include
-MAC cold air intake
- SCT X3 handheld

LT's pick up a little more power over the stock headers. They are really needed when you go with a supercharger.

That's not true at all. Aftermarket headers aren't needed until you're around 300something rwhp. Although LT's are nice for a small power increase.

True they aren't needed, but dyno's have proven that with boost the stock headers just aren't cutting it. I know that my factory headers are a MAJOR restriction.

well i dont think im going to be putting on a s/c or turbo on this car. i am only 17 and it already has 90,000 miles so im not going to bother with major power stuff, im going to stick with bolt on's like intakes, tuners, exhaust, maby a pully later idk yet. so i think im going to go ahead and order this stuff. its too bad there isnt one site that has h pipes and cats at a reasonable price.

I have some of the takeoff exhaust from my GT. Specifically from the balljoints at the H connection to the mufflers. I cut them at the axle hops to get it all out.
 
will those work on the h-pipe i listed at the beginning of this post
