Default exhaust ?'s

Ive got a flowmaster cat-back with 40 series mufflers. my first question is: what are the best Ceramic shorty headers that are reasonably priced? my second question is: how hard is it to swap the midpipe and is it worth switching from catless to factory ocne every 2 years? third question: what's the best catless H-pipe? any feedback would be appreciated

I would probably go with BBK shorties, H pipes arent bad to swap, i did mine this year and it was not fun, but its doable by yourself. a second person would have helped huge, they're pretty heavy... If you have the money you might just want to get a high flow H pipe, there is really no difference in performance gains but they are a lot more expensive.

swapping H pipes is 8 nuts, 2 o2 sensors and the EGR tube... and ofcourse the hangers. Doing the swap once every 2 yeras wouldnt kill ya
