Default header or catback for now?

Well, I sorta got enough to buy both header and catback exhaust. Im short on a lil cash for both at the same time. Im planning on buying the JDMShit 4-1 Mugen Style Header a nd running a testpipe along with the Apexi World Sport 2 Exhaust. The question is which part should i buy for now, the header or catback. I wanting more power from one of them, eventually i will have both soon. SHould I just run the stock exhaust and save money?


BTW I hope CHicago Wins today!

Take care of your intake like we talked about before... Then, go with the header.

Honestly, I'd just save up and buy a high quality header (Spoon, Mugen, TODA, JUN, SMS-P, RMF, etc), it's well worth the money.

And if you don't feel like dishing near $1,000 for a header, I'd just go with a JDM OEM Type-R header. They can be had for pretty cheap, and they're a great improvement over the stock USDM exhaust manifold.

As for exhaust, APEXi WS2 is a nice exhaust, quiet, mean, and low. I'd take care of the header first, and see how you like the sound. Stock ITR exhaust sounds pretty good in my opinion.

Good luck man.

Start prowling for a used one, they're drastically cheaper. I've seen RMF Narrows for $550, TODAs for $575, Spoons for $550... So they're out there, and the're MUUUUUCH cheaper used. I'd take that into consideration.
