Default race header + stock cat back

Would it be worth the 400 bucks to get a DCRH and just bolt it up to my stock cat back? Im sure it would change the sound of the exhaust but im thinking it will sound pretty good..not too loud.

Go intake before exhaut. I have an AEM cold air and unless I get down on it you can even tell it's on the car. Same hp gains, wicked sound and it's not there unless you need it.

You can do race headers, but the stock exhaust will still baffle and restrict the airflow minimalizing hp gains.

like k20 said. intake first. if u get the dcrh it is ment for you to have a non restrictive exhaust combo as well as the intake. hence i/h/e in that order. its not good to just jump rite in the middle to mod.

My boy has the DCRH on his RSX and its real good. The downfall with that is he had to get new motor mount inserts to eliminate flex with acceleration. Im not sure why but he says when the motor moves back under acceleration the headers receive stress thus bending them a little bit.
