2.4 manual exhaust options?

looking for full exhaust headers dp and catback.... what are my best options.... best value.... probably catted dp.... like to keep noise throaty and quiet(ish)..... will sacrifice a little hp for a cheaper price tag.... just looking to gain a little daily driver hp.... will do tune after exhaust is put on already have injen short ram will probably add cold air pipe at the same time i do exhaust thanks Brian
also should i go 2.5 " or 3" if i will never sc/tc it im thinking 2.5" dont want to compromise longevity of engine

Badmab zzp dp. And custom exhaust. Check the shops around your area. Its cheaper and you can make it sound the way you want.

If money isnt an issue then the zzp long tube header and your choice of catbacks.

If money is an issue then badmab header zzp downpipe cti over the axle pipe and your choice of mufflers.

I have a zzp shorty myself and I like it and you can hear and feel the difference over stock. But I will be upgrading most likely. Also I only recommend the slp loudmouth catback if you plan on keeping the stock downpipe or if you plan on adding a resonator to it. Otherwise with a header and a catted zzp downpipe its insanely loud. But it looks somewhat stock when walking upto the car.

cheapest catbacks are:megan,dc,and slp (400 shipped)
