that would be uno header. and youll see more gains with a cat-back but itll be a stretch finding a cat-back for 350 new.

sounds like a good deal, ive only had experience with racing beat on an n/a, and it woke that up to say the least.

If you can pony up another $150 someone is selling an entire NA header back exhuast system, minus the mufflers, from Racing beat for $500 on ebay. his ad is in the for sale section.

Its my opinion that it is pointless to open up the rear of the exhaust when you are going to leave a choke point at the front of the exhaust. If you went with a RB header and presilencer, of which there are two different sets for sale in the for sale forum, you would probably be very happy.

RB header with stock mufflers would probably sound alright. Remember that when you ditch the stock exhaust manifold you are pulling out a bunch of emissions crap that chokes your power.

can you explain what emissions crap it is you remove that is choking power?

it doesnt generally affect power to remove the emissions crap, it just simplifies things under the hood and loses some weight.

+1

It may choke power, but not anywhere near significantly. The biggest (basically only) restrictor is the stock cats.

I removed my emissions stuff to make things simpler for myself.
