Right now i have slp loudmouth exhaust tips... im pretty satisfied with them but i've heard Corsa's are really good plus im looking for a chrome look on the back. I cant decide if i want to go ahead and put my money towards Corsa's or Kooks headers. Which one would you guys for? With headers do any of you guys experience any problems that keep reacurring or what? I've been wanting headers for sometime now but im debating.

Headers are way worth their price, but there's no real reason to splurge for the Kooks ones. They'll look good forever but for their price you could redo your entire exhaust system.

I recommend some pacesetter or flow tech coated ones, all longtubes show comparable gains, even uncoated ones are fine they just get some surface rust like the stock manifolds.

Corsa tips are outrageously expensive and if you're really considering one or the other, i'd go with headers. However if you go with headers and go with an ORY instead of a catted Y pipe, you'll have a rediculously loud sound coming out of that loudmouth. I'd switch the muffler to something that does its job, like a Borla XR-1, or better yet spring for an X pipe and dumped true duals.

I have Pacesetters and love them. I can't speak to how easily they were installed because I had them installed (G-Force). So, for me, they went in really easily. I dropped the car off, went to work, had lunch, then picked the car up and they were magically installed (along with a re-tune).

In my mind, headers would be the way to go. They provide your engine the ability to exhale easier, and you have a good catback system. Just do yourself a favor and either find a good y-pipe or find a shop that will fab you one.

Go with the KOOKs LT's and ORY pipe, you won't be disappointed. They kick *** and sound great too!
