I honestly wouldn't spend that much for a header and 2.5" piping.. Then again, that's just me. I got my header off eBay from speed_daddy, for $116, and haven't had any complaints in the 4 months or so since I put it on. For the catback exhaust, our piping is already 2.5". On the downpipe if you're looking to do a cat delete, make friends with a welder at a shop. I had a guy from Big O Tire do a cat and res delete for me. I installed the header myself. If you're going to keep a cat due to emissions or whatever, get a high flow cat, and make sure you get a high flow muffler like magnaflow. Essentially the route I went I decided not to replace my 2.5" piping with new, shiny 2.5" piping. The only restrictions in our exhaust are: Header, Catalytic Converter, Resonator, 2.25" piping from rear axle back, and muffler.

the whole thing header downpipe and full exhaust 2.5" with 3" chambered muffler is all under $800, for the dp im just gonna order it catless since its cheaper and will be louder and the exhaust is going to have a resonator to keep it more quiet and im probly gonna put it on myself

The catback does start out super quiet. Once it burns in it gets a nice tone and gets louder.

This was when i first got it. Not burned in yet.

Well for you it wont be because 2.4s came with similar exhaust to the SS/SC.

My stock exhaust was about 1" and 5/8"
