id say get the Pacesetter headers, they are cheaper and probably about the same or better quality then the mac's.

and +1 to what is your budget and goals.

I'm assuming that means since you already have a cat back, you have a cat-back that goes into the factory y-pipe? If so, get ceramic coated headers, and get an exhaust shop to fab up an H-pipe (they will need to cut off and replace the y-pipe section of the cat-back). After that go with gears and t-lok.
