Always do a cat-back exhaust before you install headers. If you go with the headers first, they will out flow the rest of the exhaust and creat turbulance and won't help your car all too much. I would go with the cat-back first, plus its cheaper and MUCH easier to install!

Get the headers AND the cat-back!

Naw, get the cat back then the headers. I did it the other way around. But I got the whole thing done. Good gains.

Good luck
