You shouldnt install the header it will make your car sound like crap keep the stockie. As far as the catback though it looks dirty but thats expected. Only 'use' related wear that you should inspect for is cracks around welds and dent/gouges. Its basically steel pipes so there isnt too much to worry about it being worn out or anything. If you have already looked at some sound clips or heard buddies cars with the same exhaust and you like the way it sounds gofer it!

Well one important thing to check is the midpipe......shake it,if it rattles it is junk,the screen in the resonator has broken from hitting speedbump or other hard surface,pretty comman with full exhausts.
the pipes should clean right up with metal polish and some hands on work.Be sure to get all brackets,gaskets,and other parts that came stock with the Agency.
As for the header,it is gonna make the car raspy sounding unless you put a decent resonator on that midpipe,the agency resonator is not designed to work with a header,only with stock header,this is true with any exhaust,they desogn them to work with stock header,when you modify headers you have to change the parts on exhaust to work with it.

I think the one in the photos looks great. If that header comes with it just take it and do what I did...Buy high temp spray paint and paint the header bronze flat back or a popular color and sell it on craigslist for $80. I painted a knockoff megan header bronze and had five people asking to buy it first day it was listed just because it looked cool.
