Good exhaust set-up?

Considering doing a Megan stainless header, Megan test pipe, and either Greddy EVO2 catback or the HKS Hi-Power Catback. Is this a good set-up?

HKS Hi-Power for our cars is an axle-back, not a full-catback.

i would personally go with RSR more than greddy, very subtle exhaust.

Civic_RedLine will become famous soon enough

greddy sounds nice, with the megan resonator my car sounds so quiet and deep and even when I punch it, the exhaust is still quiet cause of the turbo. When I was N/A and used i/h/e it sounded nice too, but with the megan resonator, your car will sound get the high pitched sound when in vtec.
there was definately, slight gains, with the evo2 and megan resonator.

fergsonfire is an unknown quantity at this point

I got the megan header and resonator with and apex'i n1 and it sounds awesome, plus there is definitely noticable power gains. Go with what you like, dont let everyone else tell you what sounds good or not, its your car. I personally love the way mine sounds and am going to love it even more when I get my new cam, valves, springs, rods, and pistons. But those are yet to come.

lol, yesterday I installed a megan test pipe, with the HKS axleback and custom midsection on my buddys 04 ex. He already had the DC headers, and it made a noticeable difference, and the sound was ok too. But im not really looking for sound. I want to get something that I will feel a difference with tho. Thanks for the input tho guys.
