If you want to keep the stock VQ sound just do the test pipes and Y pipe. Save up though and get better test pipes or HFCs. Dont do headers cause they arent worth it at all unless your are going to do the cams also. I have the megan TPs and they arent that bad but Im getting ready to go with the ART pipes.

I don't think you can get the Megan Y-Pipe with a True Dual exhaust.

im on the same boat as you. i think if your budget is tight, then just get a HFC.

but if you can afford a nice exhaust go with the exhaust route

Test pipes can tend to give off the in cabin gas smell and they won't pass smog.
I'm not sure how strict the emmision laws are in FL though.
TPs are going to be considerably louder and some can be pretty raspy under hard throttle.
That's why I just decided to go with the Berk HFCs. They negated all those issues.
Very happy with em!
