Hotshot 100%. Better fitment and not slip fit connectors.

Unfortunately RR-Racing doesnt carry them anymore. But I am with Pat.. Hotshots are the best. Rather than ordering online.. why not give them a call? That way you can have a more direct contact with them.. and get names and possibly direct phone #'s as well. Hotshots arent cheap though.. but the ceramic coat sure is sweet :)

Couldnt tell you how they feel or sound.. the car is still under construction. I went with them because several people I know told me their fit was excellent. And they were all correct.. the fit is excellent and they are ceramic coated.. another excellent reason to choose them.. helps keep exaust temps consistant and helps keep the engine bay cool all at the same time. Pacesetters are rumored to get a bit more HP.. but I didnt like the look of their welds.. But if you can get Hotshots for $200 a pop.. do it and dont look back.. Cheers

what would be a good size exhaust to go with.
2.25 or 2.50 and what canister would sound good
i dont really want it to sound all raspy.
