Exhausts don't matter. The best header will be any one with a true 4-2-1 design. So that's either MMW/WeaponR, Tsudo, or Mazzuri.

What can everyone agree on being the best? You know that is a somewhat impossible request.

Im about to get the MMW/weaponR header and supposedly the precision muffler goes really well with it in that it will be pretty much the best at keeping it quiet and smooth with minimal rasp. Im going to definitely get the precision muffler as its been tested and proven to maintain good sound with the MMW header, check out precisionmuffler.com.

I've got headers with the Megan Racing drift spec exhaust...that exhaust has a built in resonator...and it's still raspy...most people put like a damn 18" and a 14" resonator to get rid of the rasp...with any exhaust + header its gonna take ALOT to get rid of rasp.

Ive been told that the MMW Header is the same as the Tsudo Header only with a diff. logo. Ive seen side by side pics and they look identical.

I think it's the other way around and has been discussed. MMW came out first and is now with Weapon R, then Tsudo releases the exact setup and undercuts pricing. For headers just read above, now for exhaust, that's all personal preference. There's clips on youtube that won't do the actual sound any justice for the exhaust and there's pics on the sticky threads at the top of this section. I myself decided on the Agency Power for the looks and a complete bolt on kit and have been given compliments on the sound. I haven't actually heard it from the outside with someone else driving but I keep on thinking I'm waking people up at night and in the morning lol.

I have an MMW header that I just installed yesterday. I don't notice any HUGE surging gains but it definately feels much smoother. It pulls a bit better but nothing like VTEC or what not.

As for an exhaust look up Precision Muffler. I have to install that next (sitting in my room collecting dust).

I just installed my WeaponR header this passed weekend. I already had the PM muffler. Sounded great before and it still sounds good. I don't have any rasp. But as mentioned, it's all about preference. You can't really answer the question of the best.....

Get yourself a set of MMW racing headers and get our 7inch round axle back to keep the rasp away. :D
