Default Help with Exhaust tip and Plasti dip..

Hey guys I have a question about an Exhaust tip which may sound kind of stupid but I don't know. I was wondering if I'd put the tip right over the other Exhaust tip or if there's a way to remove the factory one. No I'm not going to AutoZone up my car I just want it to look better until I get the money for a TRD or Magnaflow Exhaust.
That's another question in your opinion which is Exhaust sounds and performs better all together the TRD axle-back or the Magnaflow cat-back and please explain why. Also I ordered Plasti-dip from AutoZone and was wondering if anyone could PM me that's done it before on there emblems and tell me how it worked out!

I've got TRD axle back. Sounds good. Not real loud or raspy. I plan on welding my own cat back pipe to the TRD.

Basically cutting out the resonators. Also I've done quite a bit with Plasti dip. And for the first time using the stuff came out pretty good

Alright thanks for your help! Is the TRD louder and more sporty sounding then the stock exhaust?

Alright so it's loud enough to be heard and get some looks but not to loud as to attract police for sound?

Alright sounds good! And also I've been looking at headers through andysautosport.com and was wondering what would give me better performance, megan racing or DC Sports.

I'm not sure. I've heard good about both. Only thing you gotta be careful about is CEL.

Yes. Unless your converter is not part of your manifold which I be live it is. A header would delete the converter and hence an O2 sensor code would pop up. Unless u get antiflowler (fake o2 sensor)

Not sure never had to get one never messed with a converter unless it was a car older than 96 not sure about your state emissions laws but NY is pretty strict when it comes to inspections

Yea I dont really know our laws about those type of things. All I know is if the CEL is on then it doesnt pass so I'd need to get an antiflower then
