You may want to search the thousands of existing threads. This question is really just going to be a poll of what everyone has. With that being said I highly recommend kooks 1 7/8 lt the cat delete and magna flow cat back, why ??? Because I own it. Lol. I think most brands pretty much put up the same HP gains. Sound is a personal taste.

Who cares its been asked. Maybe there are new developments in the header world. Maybe its nice to see fresh opinions once in a while. You may as well put yourself in the category that says "first" on every you tube video.

That's hilarious. That should be a standard response. Still laughing.

I've got American Racing Headers 1 7/8 with stock cat back (for now) and the sounds and performance is awesome. Kooks, ARH, SW are all great brands.

Headers.. They all give basically the same gains. Choices are american made vs foreign and price.
Catback exhausts.. You should choose the one you think sounds the best. There isn't really any hp gains noticable by 3in exhaust systems til you're north of 700rwhp. |

Pretty much every build where we sell the Kooks stepped headers for makes in the high end of what you would expect for headers. In our testing, it was 10HP more than normal 1 7/8" Kooks. Check it out the dyno here-
