Default Best Header and Exhaust for more power?

I'm looking for the Best Header/Exhaust combo for more power.
As far as I could find, DC Sports is the only one who makes a header and I'm thinking of going with their exhaust as well.

Can anyone offer any advise? I have about $600.00 to play with.

I know where to get an axleback for $200, installed and tax included. The muffler is a Magnaflow stainless. I like my DC Sports header.

I've got the Megan Racing header that Darren is talking about. I'm happy with it.

I would suggest you to move from the front to the back of the car, so intake first if you haven't already put one in.

Theres Dc Sport, Megan, Nex, EL Prototype, TRD Japan and ebay ones. There mostly the same just that from what i know DC and EL are ceramic coated the others steel and the TRD one you can use heat shield. Not to bag, but i would recommend using a ceramic coated one as you can tell there isnt much space, in other words HEAT, the ceramics will absorb more compared to the regular steel. But if you are gonna go with the stainless steel make sure the wires around it have space so it wont fry.

I read somewhere on here that the ceramic coating chips off after a while and then they start to rust. Does anyone know if that is true?

any mild steel header whether it be ceramic coated or not at some point will rust , the heat these motors put out will not make a bid deal as to the ceramic or stainless. i'd go stainless. cuz most people know it's damn near impossible to get it to rust.

Thanks Stylis! I just bought an axle back from ya!

As for the header, I bought a stainless one off of ebay for 85 bones. I couldnt justify the price difference in the ceramic coated DC header.
