Default Full Exhaust Suggestions Please

Alright I have decided to sell my TRD Muffler and go with a full exhaust and get me an Intake. Heres what i'm thinkin

Intake- Injen CAI
Skunk 2 exhaust
S-pipe-?? advice please
Header-?? need advice

Is there a header that causes less rasp than the others. My plan is to get an Aero AR25 Resonator (thanks tCeeder) and a high flow cat if rasp persists as well as keep the resonator already on the skunk 2. what do you guys think?

mmw produces a bit less rasp than most other ones, but there are a lot of complaints about fitment, price, and installation being a pita. i personally have that exact setup, injen cai, mmw header/s-pipe, skunk2catback, and the sound is amazing.

do you have a lot of rasp or have you done stuff i.e. installed resonators to fix it or what, also do you have the antifouler setup and how does that work for you? I have read that some headers are more prone to throw the CEL

eh, another header thread....

i have the dme header w/ the skunk2 exhaust and a hi-flow cat. the dme has an oem style bracket at the bottom that bolts up to the original bracket, which keeps the header from vibrating and reduces rasp. then i got a jvt s-pipe and a vibrant cat welded into the skunk2 and it sounds great. not quiet by any means, but not ricey

i just installed a normal cheap cat converter, since i couldn't handle the smell, and it turned out to help quiet down my exhaust a bit and got rid of the rasp too. and about the antifouler, my header and s-pipe came with a cel tricking thing, which has been working up to this day, and its been about a year since i installed it.

I've heard this the MMW makes least rasp but is big bucks but is worth it i think. That comes with an s pipe so that takes care of that. I'd go with a megan mi pipe and slap a good 20" resonator, and a high flow cat if you want, then the axle back of your choice

go to an exhaust shop and have the weld on a 20'' reonator or larger. the high flow cat will not cut the hp in anything noticeable

skunk2 is a really good exhaust. a bit tricky to bolt to the midpipe but since ur putting in another one, put them on together first.
