Default Headers or Axle Back

Looking for some in-put...
Would you buy a set of headers for a 250 AWD,
Or an Axle-back exhaust...
Assume that they are the same cost, but the headers will give you aprox. 20 more HP...

Depends entirely on if I care about staying legal/passing an inspection or not. Axle-back if yes (actually prob. nothing if yes since the axle-back adds so little) and headers if I don't care about legal.

axle back exhaust - $600 and adds almost no hp
headers - $750 and adds 20+ hp

Tough decision you have there!!!

You should get the headers because too many ppl already have the axle backs. Plus we need a guinea pig for the headers.
