Thank you all for the replies! While I'm showing off my automotive newbness here, may I ask a few more questions?
*What is the difference between a normal pipe (X or H), and an off-road pipe?
*I know off-road pipes aren't 'street-legal' (whatever that means anymore)...a friend warned me not to go with an off-road pipe, as another friend of hers was ticketed for having one on a Firebird. However, down here in the South, these country boys have them on their already-loud trucks, as well as the ghetto boys driving around old Caprice Classics.....think my friend is just over-worried?
*With long-tube headers and an off-road X-pipe, would I also need to purchase a cat-back kit, or go with a custom job from a shop?
*Or (as I've seen suggested on another forum), could I get the O-R X-pipe, and pipe it straight back from there with no mufflers? (the author claimed that this is legal, though I'm not sure myself - author also claimed to work at a muffler shop)
