Thanks bro. i cant wait to see how the sound changes with the headers on. and the secondary cats removed. BTW i dont think PPE headers and JoeZ' PTS exhaust is all that loud. heres a vid i found on Youtube for you to listen. disregard the over excited girl. lol. sounds like my son when i start the car lol.

Novel Equal Length Headers

Catless/Resonator-less Custom Midpipe

It sounds so nice more worried about emissions testing though.. Then to changed it back and forth every year after words is gonna be a headache and alot of cash..

This is still my all time fave video of the combo together

thats a good hard acceleration lol, def sounds sick. I believe you can add welded on high flow cats after the headers but not sure how strick is your state with emission, out here in NYS they dont care about emission lol.

Yeah im not too sure, i really wanted them, maybe one day. but my cars a 12 and emissions will be here in 2-3 years so i still have time if i decide to get em, just might be costly and im not sure how tough they are with stuff like that.. atleast i can use that money to get the toms side and front lips haha

well at least its enough time to enjoy the car with headers and exhaust. but i def agree in a state where emission checks are require its hardly not worth all the trouble of back and fourth swaps between headers. Love the Tom's spoilers. trying to get my hands on the rear bumper diffuser first and some carbon sides as well. although i'm starting to see the Toms kit being replicated by some shops and guys i rather stick to the Authentic parts.

lol, sux to see shes not your year around DD, as my F will see 365days of weather. i think i'm going with the Car treat 3" mid Pipes. someone here on CL has is with the borla axle back and he stated they sound awesome paired up together. i might just *** resonator to the mix just to get rid of any drone of raspiness i might encounter. I'll keep posting pic and Video along the way if anyone else would like to go this route with their mid pipes and see if in fact increases some Ponies after the headers, MidPipe, HKS exhaust and RR-Racing's tune and intake upgrade.

its not too shabby, use it for construction so it gets the job done.. threw some wheels on it, but thats about it. i cant stand american cars but it was one of the few pick ups i didnt mind. not lifting it or any of that, not into that jazz
