Best Bang for your buck
So i was originally gonna get an LED underglow kit but no i am having second thoughts about that.
Anyways i was thinking about a header and downpipe combo.
What would give me the most hp gains without being ridiculously expensive?
Thanks guys.

the LED kit would be 325 so i am lookin for somethin in that range.
Is it really worth it to get an lsj dp with an aftermarket header or should i get a header and dp combo?

For about $350 you can look at ZZP's midlength header and DP combo. That's what I was looking at, but I don't think it's worth it for me to spend that much, I've decided to just go the LSJ route.
It really depends on your future goals with the car, for me, I want better flow for a little more power, but mainly better mileage. I'm leaving the performance to my future car (Sky Redline)...just have to convince the wife to let me get it before I'm 30 (4 1/2 years).

so if i got an aftermarket header and the lsj dp with the stock piping would the stock exhaust pipes be more restrictive or would i need to get a new pipe

You'd definitely want to upgrade the rest of the piping. If your looking for a good/cheep route I'd say get the racing solution 2.2 header and a LSJ DP. Then the cat-back of your choice. (I prefer GMPP Or Corsa)

Ditch the muffler and buy a cat-back. You will be happy with it for sure! I got a brand new tsudo cat-back for 238 shipped and its fully stainless has 2.25" piping and has a nice deep tone. I recomend the tsudo to anyone on a budget.
