I'd go w/ BBK ceramic unequals or FRPP shorty's (stainless) and a O/R H or Prochamber. If you have emissions testing, just throw your stock H back on it.

what other mods do you have? A larger MAF will allow more air into your engine (especially w/ a CAI or K&N) and gears will really help your accelleration.

BBK Shorties... Do the headers increase HP considering I alrealy have magnaflow cat back exhaust? I am looking for the ultimate exhaust? What do you think Of mangnaflow?

Go w/ BBK or FRPP for headers. They will increase your hp a little sinces they have larger primaries than stock and don't have the bends and dimples like stock headers do. You'll also want an H pipe or some kind of aftermarket crossover b/c the 4 cats on the stocker will keep it choked down.

Magnaflow makes good exhaust, but I would stick w/ the tried and tested for headers.
