Sounds like a good plan.. I think you would be happy with that BK 103kit & an exhaust.. Jamie / Lakeside

Although not for everyone, CMI Headers have proven performance gains and great looks. There are alot of decent exhaust systems out there and many have been mentioned in this thread. If we can help you out with product information or a quote on CMI's, please give us a call. Exhaust systems are expensive, make sure you choose something that performs to your expectations and looks like you mean business!!
