Exhaust or Headers?
On my 04 Coupe I wanted to get a little more power. I already have a Jim Wolf intake, spacer, and Pop charger. I don't want a super loud car, but I DO Want some more performance. Should I get Headers or an Exhaust. Or just do test pipes? I don't want to spend too much, and just wan a little extra punch in the throttle.

headers won't give you that much power. i have DC sports headers and they don't have that big of an effect.
in fact, i have the MREV + 5/16" spacer, Fuji Exhaust+Y pipe, DC Headers, UR Pulleys, and the intake/pop charger and maybe - MAYBE - i'm getting 30 more hp to the wheel.
about the only thing that will give you that extra punch if you're just looking for bolts on is the MREV2. Great bang for buck mod. After that, maybe the pulleys.
But headers, wait till you go FI for that.
Ever think of suspension and losing some weight? That'll work too.

Headers cost to much and more $$ to install

non-foulers.
