Default (Advice) Exhaust & Header for CTR

I´m not sure if this is the right forum or not but I just bought a brand spanking new euro spec Civic Type-R and I´m trying to find an aftermarket exhaust and header for it. I don´t know if headers would fit from the US spec Si.
Could anybody here give me advice on the best exhaust and header that would fit this 200 hp engine?

Since I´m such a proud owner I´m gonna post pics of the car.

Well, the CTR and RSX-S have slightly different engines by their designation (CTR has K20A, RSX-X has K20A2), but they're both very similar in power. I'd say that the practical difference between the K20A and -A2 engines is that the -A2 is US emissions legal in every way.

As far as exhaust is concerned, I'm planning on a Mugen catback for my US-spec EP3, even though it's supposed to be for the CTR only. To get it to fit easily, though, I need a cat/downpipe assembly and header from an RSX-S. I could also use other aftermarket headers that are designed for the RSX-S.

Just some more info to let rattle in your head.. lol

Yo Komyo, you need a catalytic converter in Reykjavik? If not, any DC5 race header + TypeS cat back should fit, cutout on the back bumper would be too wide though. BarracksSi's plan is smart, the OEM K20A2 header is cheap power (but the Mugen catback isn't). BTW, tite ride Komyo!

Euro CTR is a K20A2, JDM gets the K20A....anything for the RSX Type S should work.

Catalyst is something every car needs to have until he reaches his seventh year of age.

After surfing the net for almost 24 hours straight I think I´ve found my cat-back Fujitsubo RM01A. Does anyone know if it´s louder than Spoon N1?
