Default A good exhaust?

Anyone know of a really good quality exhaust system and manifolds to fit a 90 LX 5.0? Not really working to any kind of budget but it's gotta be lightweight, give good ground clearance and be astraight through good flowsystem(no cat or other hp guzzling crap)

Oh and i don't think i need to mention the fact that it's gotta be the cats pyjamas sound wise Lol!

Much thanks!

im running bbk shorties/ bbk h-pipe / american thunder catback (i have no cats)

its not too loud.. just enough to make people look twice

oh ya not sure if this is just with the american thunder system but my mufflers are at an angle so the bottom corners sit pretty low. i can clear the 2-3" 1 post lifts at my work.. barely.. i dont have any room to lift it though because the mufflers are angled.

I had Mac shortyceramic coated headers, a Jegs o/r h-pipe paid only 100 bucks for it and a Flowmaster American Thunder cat back on my old 87 LX . Never bottomed out the exhaust [ even with my car full of people and tires],had good ground clearance, and sounded great.

I have BBK shortie equals, BBK X catted mid pipe and Magnaflow catback. At first I was though it was to quiet. As It grew on me I realized it sounded really nasty RASPY and mean.

ya a price budget is the only way to gauge the way you want to go..so what are you thinking about, you could run from just mufflers, cat back, prochamber, off road h/x, catted, or full exhaust.
