I havent really heard anything bad (long term) with Pace's, they might not be all shiny after a while like Mac's are but unless its a show car - who cares? From what I can tell this is one of those very few times the cheaper item is just as good (performance wise) as the more expensive item.

Mac's have a proven track record on the V6's which is why a lot of guys recommend them. Get whichever floats your boat, but get an h pipe (or x pipe), high flow cats, and again mufflers are an opinion thing personally I like flowmaster 40 series.

IMO you want to get the longtubes first because if you do it the other way whether you install it yourself or not it's going to be more money or more work for you so I would get the longtubes first then whatever you want afterwards

+1 to the above post, when you decide to do the exhaust do it all once. i only paid $250 for my MACs from cjponyparts.com.

i also baught high flows which increased the price of mine, but it was well worth it

I would get pacesetters if they tuck up under the car further, I know my mac's hang lowww so low to the point that i'm scared to lower the car. But it really needs a drop, it looks like a 4x4

If you do lower go with c springs, a bit stiff buuuut they hang right over speed bumps.

But c springs aren't low enough to give that aggressive stance.

Ground clearance is overrated.
