Well it won't be anything sleeper with an open header, and it will sound like crap. But as to actual power, it will kill your low end. I'm not 100% sure but I don't know how the top end is, I know people do cutouts, but the top end should give you some gains. I mean, this is not something you want to drive around with everyday.

on that sleeper look that you talkin about, why dont you jus upgrade your b-pipe to something like t1r or spoon b-pipe and mate it with your stock axle back. now that would look, if not, closer to a sleeper.

Oh this is one thing you do not want to do. I ran open header for a day when my exhaust got messed up on the freeway. The car is loud as hell and no matter what gear you are in it is loud and attracts alot of attention. I even tried to get on the gas on the freeway and it shock the hell out of my car to the point where I couldnt see straight. Power picks up fast but top end suffered.

My advice is to do what the others are recommending. RH + T1R b-pipe + stock muffler. Good sleeper look but some will notice your car is a bit louder.

If you want it to be a sleeper then keep the stock exhaust in its original position as a mock muffler and run you true exhaust out the side in front of the rear wheel or add a lower lip on the rear bumper and run you actual exhaust just shy of the lip so its no noticeable. And so nowone hears you coming from miles away either put in a removeable silencer or a cable opened silencer.
