This is what I am recommended by American Muscle:
Shorty headers because my stang is my dialy driver (But I think I would rather go with Long tubes to get more HP)
X-pipes
Ceramic headers
Straight through mufflers (For optimal flow and better sound)
And American Muscle offered me 2 ways to convert my V6 into duals:
1.) Get cat-back with 2 mufflers and connect them to the factory Y-pipes. It'll give the apperance of Dual exhaust.
2.) Replace Y-pipe with X-pipe and then choose any GT style cat-back.
Additional things needed: MIL Eliminator such as SCT Tuner (To get rid of the check engine light), Exhaust hangers, and tune up for the exhausts.
My questions are:
What type of headers would YOU recommend for daily usage? And what preferable brand not too pricey (Not too high end or low end cost).
Which way should I use to convert my V6 into duals? 1st way or the 2nd way?
Any other things that I need to get filled in with?

Just yesterday I had my FRPP V6 Dual Exhaust kit installed. What a huge difference IMO it makes. I had the FRPP cold air intake and custom tune already installed prior to adding the duals, and my car literally feels like more power and torque has been freed up. I can pull harder, the driving experience feels much more powerful, and I love the sound compared to my previous single exhaust FlowMaster American Thunder muffler. Going dual is the only way to go IMO when upgrading exhaust on a V6.

I went with gt take off mufflers a gt h pipe for long tube headers gt drivers over the axle pipe, band clamp from napa and used set of exhaust hangers and some 8mm bolts from a junk explorer, oh and picked up a set of frpp rear bumper cut outs from somebody that went with a gt bumper, total price 132.17 but was a lot of shopping to get that price.
