EG6 B16 swap
I have a b16 swap in an EG hatch. What's a good header and exhaust system setup for my car? I don't want any exhaust system that is too loud. I like something similar to the apexi ws2 or the greddy ti-c.

Sounds like you answered your own question with respect to the exhaust system... buy the Apexi WS2 or GReddy Ti-C. As for the header, there are plenty of quality choices... one of the obvious ones would be the Skunk2 Alpha.

A quality 60mm cat-back like the Apexi WS-2 is an excellent choice... quiet without restricting HP. As a general rule, the quieter the exhaust, the more restrictive it is. However, for what the B16A is capable of producing with respect to horsepower... with bolt-ons and even internal mods, you will not out power a 60mm cat-back. Bigger than that, you will gain nothing up top and LOSE power in the midrange. Lower cost cat-back exhaust systems advertise similar pipe sizes, however, there are restrictions and choke points in them as well as substandard materials that restrict HP output.

Personally I use the following:
- Replica RMF Narrow Header (I probably recommend a Toda replica version for simplicity and max ground clearance)
- JDM DC2 Type-R short 2.5" Catalytic converter
- JDM DC2 B-Pipe
- JDM EK9 Muffler
- New Gaskets
It's nice & quiet, with OEM Quality (except header) & fit is perfect.

Thank you for the kind words.
Custom built HyTech header... John created it with my input and specifications. The cat-back is an "old school" Thermal 3" stainless system with a custom test pipe that includes a Vibrant resonator.
My "K" powered cars will be added to the fleet this year and I am VERY excited to be able to transition back into them as they were my "daily drivers"... my current DD just isn't very fun at all.
