Default Another question

What exhaust setup is everyone running. I want to get rid of the set setup and go with a full system and put some headers on? What would be the preferred setup?

Side question. Has anyone used those ebay CAI's and if so are they just as good as the name brands. I was looking to get a typhoon CAI but am curious how much it benefits over ebay brands

Exhaust is always a personal preference. Look on YouTube for some clips.

A lot of people buy the eBay intakes for the plumbing, but then buy a good quality filter for them.

That's what I figured I would do because I already have a K&N filter on the car now.

For the exhaust I've been looking around on youtube and it seems to vary widely so I think i'm going to keep the rear section, put some kind of silencer on it such as the glasspack, a new cat and headers of some sort. Are you running headers Darth?

I have an ebay intake and a ebay reuseable filter in red and for the winter I have a k&n . I also have a borla catback exhaust with a glasspack and Im running headers from modern perfomance. Alot around here and other forums have run the srt stock exhaust with glasspack.

No, no header for me. Car is loud enough as it is!

Is it 3" all the way? I was looking at the OBX SRT exhaust but wasn's sure about the fitting because of the diameter difference.

@showsxt - I ordered one of the ebay ones so we'll see how that works out

2.5". It's a direct bolt-on.
