    Just go with the doug thorley's.... They are good. But dont pair them with a flowmaster because it will sound raspy for some reason. Get a MAGNAFLOW!!! the bestest muffler in the whole world

    Get the TRD's!!!! they are the best headers for the 3.4L you will see better gains and they are a better design. I love mine! Just dont pair them up with a flowmaster or gibson exhaust. It will sound like crap! I swapped my exhaust out for the Dynomax ST muffler and it sound awsome, best freaken set-up ever!:D
    You should be able to find the TRD's for around 400 or so...
