Especially when you go to different speed/tuning shops for various things and ALL the techs stop to admire the header for the welds and quality. Even when they ask who made it and you respond with "weapon-r"....the classic expression of "WTF?! Weapon-R actually made this?!" b/c they're so used to seeing such terrible WR stuff.

EXACTLY!

Basically the header hook up directly to the s-pipe den the s-pipe connects to the mid-pipe then the mid-pipe connects to the axle-back or w.e!! I would go with the ZPI s-pipe and mid-pipe. Depends hwo you want your exhaust to look slanted or straight just either get the Greddy SP2 or EVo2

So then what does two 14" resonators do differently than one 30" resonator?

Unless you're at the track, no need to get an s-pipe or midpipe. Header and muffler choice are what bottlenecks our exhaust setup. I'd say go with a header next, then a mid-pipe, then an S-pipe. As the s-pipe will give you 1-2hp gain. I can't imagine what the midpipe would also give, another 1-2hp gain? Go with priority first, and that's picking out which parts of your OEM setup are restricting your exhaust flow. Then getting the rest of the components, are just for the serious guys who want that extra 1-2hp, cause they're a weekend racer. So keep in mind what your plans are, if you're a daily driver, just do the header for right now and see how it goes.

drsmith4, I just installed my DC header, and it will definately give you more hp/torque, just what you're looking for. good luck, and I want to hear how it turns out so keep us updated.

So whats the best combo?

Im looking at the following:
- Injen Cold air intake
- Alphaworks header
- Full exhaust but what one?

Im stuck on the exhaust... Draxas, creative compacts, megan? Or is it better to piece something else together...Say just a s-pipe and an axel back?

Whats the best with the above combo?

From: Out of my mind....

A reasonators job is to quiet the exhaust down.. If your gonna redo everything I would suggest getting a resonator or 2. As for best header, s-pipe, mid-pipe I am not sure asking that you will get a lot of personal opinions and you have to decifer whats better.

I have right now Injen CAI,
Megan Racing Header,
Stock mid-pipe,
Stock S-pipe,
and Mangaflow exhaust is on order.

Good Luck bro..
