Default Headers and CAI

Hi everyone,
just started spring term this week and i got some school money back! That means i have extra money to play with. Please help me choose the best combo of headers and CAI. I have a Agency Ti/SS catback.

Thanks!!!

Weapon r header and a resonator...any header with an aftermarket exhaust is going to be hella raspy.

Highest hp intake is supposed to be the injen.

"suppose" to be. I have the injen because it can be a sri or cai. Sounds badass either way. Im not running an aftermarket exhaust and sounds loud.

yeah Weapon R is hands down the best header on the market. IMO, i would go with the Fugita F5 in wrinkle black or the Injen CAI. either of those with the Weapon R header would do your engine a lot of good!

I used to have a Megan Header, Injen cai, and full ebay exhaust. it came with a HUGE resonator, which made it have a deep, throaty sound. No rasp at all. And i had a lightweight crank pulley. I was very happy with the setup. got some good gains, and sounded badass!

Thanks for the feed back guys. I was looking online and i found that alphaworks headers and DC give the most gain... Not sure, does anyone know? and does AEM make a CAI for an 07?? I been on the computer a lot and found that AEM took over DC sports and their headers went down hill from there, so the guy that had DC is now owner of STRUP. I have a friend that has a anxle on his car and it sound SO BADASS and deep.

Weapon r is a header & s-pipe combo, and the only true 4-2-1 design. I love mine and highly reccomend it. I also have an AEM cold air which I love as well. Mine is an 06, but I believe there was one made for 07+
