couple questions really. first, i eventually want to get a completely new exhaust system (headers, mids, mufflers) but i can't afford to get it all at once. is there a better order to purchase everything in? like headers first, or axle-back first? or does it not really matter? my second question is that when all is said and done i want everything to be "legal" (still want cats) but i don't want a crazy loud setup. i know LT headers will make it a lot louder, but the performance that comes with them overrides that for me. so basically what should i go with to get about a 7 or 8 on the loudness scale lol. (1 being dead quiet, 5 being stock, 10 being crazy loud) i know everyone has their own opinions on brands and whatnot but any help you can give would be appreshiated

I did the axle backs first. I plan to do the LT headers, high flow cats and mid pipe later.

I did axle backs then x-pipe, headers last. That's kind of backwards but that is how it worked out.

I ordered everything at the same time but I put the SLP's on first just to see how loud they would be and I would give it a 6. However, when I put the LT's on it turned into a 9. I kept my cats and I am still legal for emissions but I don't quite know if I am legal for noise pollution. lol You will enjoy LT's if you want something ridiculously loud. Don't forget the SLP's eliminate the muffler so if you want something not at loud try stingers or flowmasters.

i def want LT headers so i guess i can go with a milder muffler. so besides stingers and flowmaster what other one's would you recommend? i've heard corsa isn't much louder than stock but i believe they eliminate the muffler also?
