I'm on a pretty big mod spree lately and want to go ahead and finish up my N/A build for now with some headers. I really need *good* information on the subject. I've been hearing all kinds of things on that Facebook page and want some better opinions, I trust you guys more. I am also adding a boss manifold to my current mod list along with a real tune.
First off, 1-3/4 or 1-7/8. I've heard that 3/4 is enough for n/a and fi, you should do 7/8 if you're going fi, and 7/8 is better period. I really need this clarified... I might eventually go FI but that won't be until I pay my car off so a year or two down the road. I might get some nitrous since it's much cheaper but that isn't in my immediate plans.
Next is what brand? Can't beat the price on BBK and JBA but is it worth it to spend the extra and get the "good stuff"? I don't want to drop $1,500 on kooks or ARH but if it will show gains then I'll just save up longer and get them. Don't want to be buying headers and installing them more than once... While we're in the brand subject, is anyone using MBRP? I have their catback and like it but I don't hear much about their longtubes.
Last is the midpipe options. Catted or catless, X or H? I'm sure you leave some horsepower going catted but how much do you really lose? Are cats worth having to cut some of the noise down, I'm worried my exhaust will be hilariously loud catless. Are the X and H pipe the same numbers wise and purely for sound preference?
I think that's all I wanted to know... thanks in advance for everyone's info. And I know theirs a search button, but my phone and it do not get along.
