Hey I'm getting ready to get some new exaust parts since I have to go through DEQ next month. Right now I have a stock exaust with both cats punched out and some ricey muffler that came on the car. I want to go with a 4-2-1 header, downpipe, high flow cat and then either get a catback or get a shop to make some piping to connect my muffler up to the cat. I also want to do some na tuning with my safc so I want to get a wideband o2 and some sort of output for that so I can make changes with the safc. Just looking for advice on completing this setup, possible sources for parts, good brands, etc. I especially want some advice on the wideband o2.

 

dc header, catco hi flo cat, brm exhaust tho its really a subjective area and everyone will have their own opinion. hks hi power is another hot pick for na.

 

I say go custom for the exhaust. Make sure its mandrel bent and you will be good to go.

 

i like cat-backs..i have a tanabe exhaust on mine and it sounds so nasty..and i dont harassed by the cops with or without my silencer on cuz its so deep sounding..hks is nice,phase2motortrend is having a sell on buddy club catbacks,greddy is ok,blitz is nice,tanabe is nice 2..but its really up 2 u and what u want and how much u wana spend is what it comes down to.

 

DC seems to be the most highly respected brand for header. I think I'm gonna do custom work for the exaust piping, it will be easy to get them to add a bung for the wideband o2 that way as well. Any good sources on parts?

 

I am using a hotshot header, I am very happy with it, and it fits great.

 

The DC Header is nice. I'm running one and I love it. perfect fitment.

 

Dc header is good But I like my megan racing header its 4-1 with a down pipe and comes with a test pipe for 350 bucks and I have a video of my car for sound refrence if U wanna see.

 

could you post that vid? im tryng to decide what header to get when the time comes...

 

The DC Sports one is CARB legal, has more clearance than the stock system, relocated the O2 sensor to the collector for more accurate reading, and is ceramic coated. Did i mention it's CARB legal too, lol. Sounds wicked with my 3 inch exhaust.

 

what does carb legal mean? sorry for my ignorance...

 

california air resources board

aftermarket is heavily regulated here in cali

 

oh i see

 

Meaning it's street legal.
