http://www.l-tunedparts.com/ for the exhaust . Headers you can just search it somewhere in google. I had a friend with stock exhaust and PPE Headers. It sounded the same as stock, not really loud, but if you had both it would be pretty loud. I myself have a Joe z Exhaust with stock headers and its pretty loud. I love the Sound, Deep. I would say joe z Exhaust.

I've rode in a car with ppe and joez it wasn't really that loud. I felt that my borla with stock headers was slightly louder on the inside.

Welcome to th site, there is quite a bit of knowledge available here. If you're looking for bang for the buck (power) than headers. If your just interested in a louder sound than an exhaust system. However, installation of headers is far more difficult (and expensive) than an exhaust system. This forum has an excellent search function. do a search on each type of component you're interested in. You may learn quite a bit.

Much agreed with Lou above. It depends on what you want to achieve. A great sound with slightly increased horsepower- I'd go with the Joe Z exhaust. But if you really want to unleash more HP, combine it with the PPE headers, and you're good to go.

I'm not sure, given your location, but contact FIGS here on the forums. They are a vendor that sells the PPE headers. L-Tuned Parts.com sells the Joe Z exhaust.

Best of luck, and welcome to CL!

Agree with Lou,

I currently just have the PPE headers installed and love it....but I'm itching on installing my JoeZ but afraid it'll be too loud.

Welcome! I would suggest to buy both if you can afford it. ;-) personally I went with the Joe Z exhaust first. I'm still holding off on the headers since I just spent my tax refund $$$ on my brake job and LED lights.

I was originally gonna go with the PPE headers first and do a cat/muffler delete but I backed off because I know that system wouldn't pass inspection here in Virginia. I would need the stock exhaust to swap in for the annual inspection. :-(

I agree with the others above, if you want HP go with the headers first. For sound the Joe Z for sure would be a good choice.
