is anyone using aftermarket s-pipe with stock header?
I'm using the Creative Compacts. It works really well and fit real well too. No noticable gains but a smoother take offs and a little less drop in rpms from shifting. I'm happy with it.

The air flow that changes with this modification will be signifigantly less than if you replace the header as well, so you may or may not notice anything... if you have the stock muffler, it's so restrictive, that the spipe changeout will hardly make any difference. But, it's definately a start.
well i guess this might be the next step for me. i already have the trd exhaust. so i guess i will get an s pipe then i will get a header and then i will get a custom midpipe with resonator. and if i wait long enough maybe there will be an even better solution for header rasp!
I have the ZPI full stainless s-pipe w/ stock headers and TRD exhaust. It changed the tone of the exhaust a bit, but seems to have some helped throttle response as well. As stated before in other threads the install wasnt great, the bolts that came with kit did not fit through stock midpipe flange and overall fitment needed some playing with. Im sure ZPI has delt with these issues by now, but Im curious about that Megan Racing pipe, the finish and welds look great.
