Hi folks.

I am no expert when it comes to the tech of the 3800 so I need to turn to you for the help. My wife is letting me get a complete exhaust system put on my 04 Comp-G for Christmas. I have a few holes in the exhaust and I can see one of my mufflers hanging a bit lower that the other. So its time to get it all replaced.

I am interested in replacing the manifolds all the way to the tail pipes for supporting mods when I decide to upgrade the pulley and stuff later on. So what are my options here? I see on ZZPs website they have plogs, headers, downpipes, catted, non catted, etc etc.

Would a catless DP really help any? What kind of codes or pcm issues can I expect when doing this? Also price is somewhat of a factor I dont need the 600 dollar headers that may give me a few extra HP over the 150 dollar plogs. So im looking for the most bang for the buck that will a great supporting mod for down the road mods.

I appriciate everyones time and opinions.
