shorties are much easier and less expensive, buy a good set, get a h pipe, combo kits are the way to go, go x pipe if you can

A set of shortie headers will do your car just fine... do not go with a set of long tubes.

Wether you go equal or unequal is up to you... depends on how hard you want to work to install them.

just curious, whats the thinking behind this reply.^

being new I Don't understand I want to learn the reasoning. I thought that changing exhuast might get better performance for now and if you plan it out to what mods you want in the future you could be ahead of the game.

mental stability???? Is that some sort of mod that holds your brain still whilr the rest of your body is being thrown back in the seat?

If you have a long term plan, an stick with it then fine.... but just changing out some exhaust isnt going to net you much if anything....
