    I just installed that exhaust a few weeks ago. It was a little too loud for me so I installed the X-pipe muffler in place of the bare X-pipe... took away a lot of the drone and other annoying sounds that you get with catless headers. It still is pretty loud but sweet at full throttle...

    Here's a couple of threads about that exhaust from our own member rkneeshaw that make good reading:

    The X-pipe muffler I used is in the second link

    I viewed your links, the X Pipe magnaflow that i have is installed as a mufler in the rear it makes awesome sound. Can't wait to hear it with headers on and the intake.

    Better Intake + K&N -> Bigger ported intake ports = more fuel/air -> bigger explosion -> bigger exhaust ports -> bigger sound :D
    What i expect from intake is 5HP and headers at least 10HP at crank both, plus better throttle response. I also wonder if the ported head will make any difference (just curious about the port quality). That i will check on the dyno

    It's been a while The paint has arrived. I already sprayed one layer both on headers and the heat shield too.

    I let it dry one day and today i will spray the second layer. Tomorrow i am going at the dyno to check the hp with the current setup.
    The only modifications at the moment from the stock are:

    1. Stock manifold without cats
    2. Ported Head (both inlet/outlet) by 2mm
    3. X-Pipe as mufler
    4. K&N filter in stock air filter box

    I am looking at about 192-196 HP at the wheels considering the above mods.
    The K&N filter will arrive tomorrow. At the weekend i am planning on installing the headers and the heatshield/K&N filter together to feel the HP gain :D

    After i am planning on dynoing the before and after results just to make sure how many HP i gained.

    Today i went and dynoed my car. The results were great 188 WHP, with a 20% loss it equals 235 HP. The main thing was that there was no power drop at 4200rpm which is common in ZHPs. Air Temp 24 Celsius

    I also installed the K&N filter and my custom made heat shield

    First impressions of K&N are that the pedal is more responsive at low rpms and it pulls much better past 4000rpm with a great sound. The shield keeps a steady temperature similar to the stock air box. Air flow to the filter is better as it feeds both from stock pipe from the mid also from the left brake hose.

    Any videos on how it sounds like now? I am interested in getting headers as well.

    If you like quiet, you can stick with the stock exhaust. With headers, it's a little louder and a little raspier. I only got about a 7hp increase on the dyno with the Magnaflow system. Anything aftermarket is pretty loud
