Quality parts demand a premium price. I can tell you that you won't be disappointed, it's a beautiful looking and sounding exhaust. An alternative is to buy a used one, they're usually going for $1000 in excellent condition, less if the flex pipe is messed up or something.

Also O HELLA OEM, nice video. Sell me your tail lights, I'll be in Pittsburgh in a couple months.

Well I grew up in Pittsburgh (Mt Lebanon) so it's always good to go back. But my girlfriends sister goes to law school there so occasionally we'll make the trip out there to see her. I'll shoot you a PM before I go, maybe we can get a mini meet going.

Thanks guys for all the help.... I think when it comes time to buy i will be looking for a used HKS. Im not very educated on replacing my CAT or even what headers would be best with a HKS HI Power, what are your opinions on this?

check state laws for replacing your CAT, new york is definitely different than california. people are running the STILLEN HFC, and when it comes to headers check out DC, NISMO, STILLEN products.

So DC, Nismo and Stillen..... I see that headers have all different kinds of bends, which style puts out more power? and why?

Headers - DC
Cats - Fast Intentions (but lotsa people go with Berk b/c they cost less)
Forget Stillen

Honestly I would skip the headers. They are a lot of $$ especially for the install, and the gains really are minimal for these cars.

I would stick with HKS exhaust and Fast Intentions HFC's. Berks are cheaper, many people run them and they are fine too. But again, you get what you pay for.

It looks like you are approaching this right, buying quality items. It's becoming increasingly rare around these parts, so I applaud you for doing things right the first time.

As far as im concerned headers are going to be a free install because i would plan on doing it myself with the help of my father who has been working on cars for years.... By the looks of things these headers have to come out and go in from underneath is this correct? If so we own a lift and this would make it a tad bit easier.... Is there something else that would make this install so expensive or difficult?
