A good exhaust that won't break the bank would be either Magnaflow or Greddy, for headers a lot of people actually seem to have good results with the generic ebay ones.

Rsr mag if you can still find it If you get a ceramic header make sure you paint or cermaic coat it otherwise it will rot out quickly.

so i have been looking around and somehow i keep coming back to this one, RS-R ExMag GT2 Catback Exhaust. i still don't know yet

also if i get generic headers would i get as much gain as brand name performance headers?

to be honest, bolt ons on a d17 won't really give you much, so performance gains are fairly negligible... Just being honest.

hm what exhaust and headers and exhaust would give me good performance at a reasonable price?

give us your budget, and we'll tell you. Threads asking "what's the best for the cheapest" is kind of a bad question, especially since bolt ons give you give you hardly more than sound differences..

my budget would be about $600.
also i heard that bolt on exhaust tend to blow gaskets frequently. is this true?
hopefully my budget can help you suggest something

Sure do.. rsr mag as i suggested ... though you will get NO power gains at all from any exhaust you put on.. i'd honestly stick to the OEM header since you wont get any power gains from that either.

ok thanks. so pretty much there is no way of getting gain out of the exhaust and header?

i have a magnaflow exhaust catback exhaust forsale if u want to buy it. i am so cal as well.

$200 and its urs. one of the best sounding exhaust for our cars and the only to have a dyno graph that shows you'll actually gain HP.

here are a few pixs of the fit and finish:




the reason im not using it is cuz i have a stock exhaust now. im slowly going back to stock.
