i wouldn't bother with the headers unless you're after every last HP you can from the exhaust... the gains aren't really worth the massive PITA of installing them unless you're trying to push lots of NA hp out of it

Sorry for dragging this thread, but one more question. I most likely am going to be going with a Single Turbo kit this spring, which of these exhausts would be compatible?
Thanks again
single turbo is no problem with the Fujitsubo Legalis-R.... single turbos eliminate the cats and Y-pipe though, so the downpipe from the turbocharger will run directly to the spot where the Y-pipe formerly ended

doesn't Kamal34 have a twin turbo setup? if so, the exhaust may sound very different on a NA car with stock headers, cats, etc.

i guess you could get a general idea of the sound from his car... i just wanted to warn you that it might not sound exactly the same on your car

I think instead of going with an aftermarket exhaust right now, Im going to wait until after I have my turbo installed and see how it works with the stock exhaust.

Hey what do you guys think of this combo? Looks like the hks but its a different company? Think it will sound just as similar, plus its 3in which I would love to go with when I go turbo?

Single turbo does not work with true dual exhausts.. And I'm not too sure how open the HKS is as of right now (hence why I sold it)
The Megans are pretty nice. They are definately cheaper than buying 2 HKS hi power cans! My buddy has em on his Z.. Looks good and gives the option of custom, which will be almost the same price as some other exhausts..
Have you looked into the N1 or WS? I've been looking at those as a temporary exhaust on my car (I have no exhaust on my car right now lol).. Holding out on a 3" since there's been some TN kit problems on the Z forums.
