You'll need the presilencer that replaces your cats as well. But upgrading from stock it will be a big improvement. Loud though.

The most restrictive place in your exhaust right now is the cats. After that the mufflers. And then the exhaust manifold, but with stock injection you wont gain much by swapping in headers.

If you want to keep the car mostly stock, id consider just getting some kind of a high flow cat replacement like the bonez one, thats where all the power will be gained. If the cats are in good shape you could even just take them off and bash the center out of them and save money for some nice RB mufflers. It sounds trashy but you'd be suprised with the results.

Hey, I live in Mankato!

Noise violation laws here are posted and you will get a fine if you are wrapping on it.

The RB system seems to be the benchmark of it all. 5-25Hp maybe from a full exhaust? I haven't seen back to back numbers.
