IMO its worth it. they have proven gains, somewhat comparable to LT's, which are illegal in cali.

anyways about the exhaust, I was talking to J. (owner of JBA) and he told me not to get magnaflows/magnapacks/flows/etc...he said wait a little while and get the JBA exhaust, and told me it'll flow better and sound better than the other stuff out there. I believe him, so I'm gonna wait for them to come out.

I'd say pocket 800 bucks and spend the other 700 on a Borla catback and a good quality offroad h-pipe. Thats what i have and teh sound is amazing. Smooth at cruising speed but just wicked, car alarm setting loud at WOT. YOu will love it and not many people have this setup.

He's in California, it's like the death penalty to put Longtubes on a car there

yeah forget headers AT ALL, go with a emission legal mid-pipe, find one that you think sounds the best, and I think mac flowpaths are the best sounding mufflers for our cars, look into those. THEN use the rest for other performance mods, good luck

I'd agree with the other guy, and say you don't really need exhaust.

Get some power mods, my car is loud as a beast right now, and I've already told myself the next car I get I'm not touching the exhaust at all.

I have SLP and I'm very happy. Magnaflow or Bassani are good too.

$1500 worth of JBA hardware is like one header and maybe a bolt or two if your lucky.

I've got to say they've got balls pricing their stuff like that when you can get a set of real headers for like $500 or less.
