Please (and this is for your benefit) use the search function! You can find a WEALTH of info about this subject.

Now, my opinion?

DC is a good choice if you really want a new header. Expensive, but made right. There are two different things to consider though when choosing the right one.

One consideration is whether you want a 4-1 or 4-2-1 design. 4-1 tends to be better for more hp at higher rpms. 4-2-1 tends to increase velocity by minimizing flow more than the 4-1. The result is more hp at mid rpms and more tq.

The other consideration is stainless or ceramic coated. Stainless is obviously the better look but ceramic will allow less heat to radiate from the header itself. This CAN lead to lower underhood temps. Its all up to you whether you think its worth it.

 

Oh and as for an exhaust, I don't know what sound you want exactly so I can't really get too specific.

However, I will tell you that usually the cheapest way would be to go to your local exhaust shop and have them bend you a custom midpipe and install the muffler of your choosing. The price will vary by shop (and how well you know the people there) but its usually around a 100 for a midpipe made and installed on average.

I would personally go with the Apexi WSII, but they are sorta expensive (at least compared to some other mufflers). TOTALLY worth it in my opinion though. Ocassionally you can even find them in the 150 dollar range by themselves. Good luck!

 

thx

 

i have the same car i would go with some actual good headers like dc headers but they look the same as the ebay brand and the gaskets inbetween doesnt last very long so i would find one that goes from 4 pipes to 2 pipes and then 1 and exhaust depends on how loud you want it i have an apexi world sport 2 for 400 and somethin it's quiet at idle and such but when you get on it soundssss sexy haha you can look up the sounds on youtube
