Downpipe/Header Combo

I searched for a lil while but im still not sure on whats best for me. I read that a 4-2-1 header is best for midrange power which is wat i want. I was thinkin bout the vibrant but is there any cheaper/better alternatives?

I dont kno if i want it cuz i read that a downpipe makes ur car a lot louder. You heard my car kevin and i dont think that i should make it louder Wat you guys think?

If i do get a header/downpipe im probly gonna go wit stainless steel so i really dont have to worry bout it.

yea, it will make it a lot louder than it is now. after you put the header/dp on you'll consider the ark "quiet" lol

I got the ZZP downpipe with highflow cat. I love the mod and it did make it slightly louder. My car is not loud by any means. The blower is louder then the exhaust note by far.
