Header and Exhaust!?!?!?!

Header and Exhaust!?!?!?!
Alright, I'm kinda dead set on getting the DC sport header. Im looking for a nice full exhaust that would match up to it. I was thinking about the MagnaFlow exhaust, or even the Creative Compact full custom exhaust. Im just lost when it comes to exhausts. If anyone could help that would be great, and if the DC sport header is a good choice? Any info would be great. Thanks.

Whatever you decide on make sure to add a resonator. I had rasp w/ stock exhaust and the AW header. I added a 30" peforated core resonator today and it eliminated all of the rasp. The stock resonator cant handle the extra flow of a header.

ive heared reports of the DC header rusting. the best one would probably be the MMW one, but its pricey. the 2nd best and probably best for the cash is Alphawerks. good luck on the exhaust since i thinking everybody running a header and exhaust seem to have a raspy tone

LoL.... the trend is noticed!!!!
This is WeDriveScions and Zero... summed up....

This Simbol(Yin-Yang) represents the ancient Chinese understanding of how things work. The outer circle represents "everything", while the black and white shapes within the circle represent the interaction of two energies, called "yin" (black) and "yang" (white), which cause everything to happen. They are not completely black or white, just as things in life are not completely black or white, and they cannot exist without each other.
While "yin" would be dark, passive, downward, cold, contracting, and weak, "yang" would be bright, active, upward, hot, expanding, and strong. The shape of the yin and yang sections of the symbol, actually gives you a sense of the continual movement of these two energies, yin to yang and yang to yin, causing everything to happen: just as things expand and contract, and temperature changes from hot to cold.

I think it really does. You have short primaries into a long collector with your Megan header where the AW has long primaries with a very short collector. Its got to make some difference since most AW users have rasp and the Megan users dont complain as much.

When you say full, are you talking header to tip or are you talking cat back? Unless you are f/i, do not run larger than 2.25'' piping, actually, thats a near perfect size for n/a people. If you want to go custom, i would recommend a universal Jic or HKS and then do the piping. I would suggest another company, but i don't want anyone taking my ideas.

...Well you could try the CC exhaust inserts...worth a shot and its fairly cheap. Thats the only other thing I could think as a possible solution...
Hopefully it works.

Well if zero were here he would say creative compacts exhaust inserts is another solution

But creative compacts has nothing to do with the exhaust inserts.
CarChemistry is the maker. Hense the CC.

The dc rust issue needs to be proven. I've heard people say it rust but have never seen a pic of a rusted dc header. That's my only reasoning behind wanting to get the aw over the dc, especially if the dc has less rasp, the performance difference is not much between the two.....

i have seen small rust spots on dc headers and i have also seen the ceramic chipping off of them but all in all there still great headers

so the general opinion on the megan racing headers is a good one??
I was planning on getting them but they just seem to good to be true... the price is great for headers!!! 150 shipped!!!!
