Default Catback and headers??

I've been lookin to put more upgrades on the engine, already i have just an intake and tsudo catback...Obviously everyone keeps saying that if you have a long resionator then it will reduce the rasp, I guess I can live with the rasp but I was thinking about the light weight pully and headers...nothing to huge just want a little bit more power. Any input is welcome

Pulleys are controversial as many experts contend they shorten engine lifespan while others reason that they are harmless - in any case, it's a gamble. Listen to all the videos of cars with headers to be sure you really like the sound - even with miles of resonator, they sound pretty unpleasant. Save for a supercharger.

true that, i mean i've heard alot of the vid clips....and you are right, they sound very unpleasent...i just would like to have a little more power, i've been researching it and it's just frustration. But looks like i'm going to have to try first hand.
