Those were catback systems only. If you want a header, go with a ceramic pacesetter, best bang for the buck IMO. Then buy a highflow 2.25" cat off ebay, and take your car to your local performance exhaust place and have them compression bend you a 2.25" catback system fitted with your choice of muffler. Oh, you might want to add a nice resonator to that as well.

I had the local Car-X mendrel bend me some 2.5" piping for my exhaust and I used a Cherrybomb OE-style muffler from Autozone. The exhaust looks completely stock, including the muffler, and the whole thing cost me like a hundred bucks. The muffler is a little louder than stock at idle but it doesnt sound like a fart can. At full throttle it gets a nice throaty note and it cackles a little when I shift, but the power gains were worth it. As far as headers, check out NOPI, RSM Racing, Mantapart, JBP, places like that. Most headers run around $300.00 but if you look around you can find them cheaper. I made my own custom header with 1.6" primaries stepped into 2" piping that ends in a 2.25" collector. It's a 4-2-1 design and it works really well, but I only made my own because I have the ability to do so. It cost me about $80.00 for materials, so that speaks for itself. The only down side to using a full exhaust on a stock LN2 is the low end torque tends to fall off a little bit. If you intend to have a header, the 4-2-1 design is ideal for the street. It'll increase the flow in a big way but still provide decent bottom end power.

Also, check out Magnaflow and Borla for cat-back systems.

You also have choices of headers with Weapon-R, OBX and Pacesetter that are decent.

Catalytic converter, Magnaflow all the way.

Check out www.carcustoms.net for parts as well...

Good Luck.

Exhaust shop. Custom catback. Header from Ebay. Stock cat works fine until you clog it up. You can do a full exhaust for $300 if you price things right.
