Default LT Headers Install

Ok, I'm gettin some LT headers and an off-raod midpipe. I just wanna know wut kinda problems I might run into. If it wont be bad I'll just do it at the house, If its a pain in the butt, Ill ask my boss to let me use the shop. I'm going BBK LT's, BBK H-pipe, and prolly smome american thunders dumped.

ok, I'm not seeing any american thunders on jegs....they have 40, 44, 50, and 60 series flows. Is the higher numbered ones louder or what? How does flowmaster categorize those? I want something that sounds mean, is a little loud, but wont attract too much attention....

i love my flowmaster 40s. they are the black version. in idle, you cant hear the muscle style "gub gub" but opened up they sound like muscles.

sounds awesome, but i doubt that it will help this guy seeing as how he doesnt have an aftermarket cam. flows 40s are a nice throaty sound btw.
