    Alright if your going to reply to this you can't laugh at me or get mad at me lol... I just need some help. I am a high school athlete so I'm not exactly money bags because I don't have time for a job with sports. But I need some help on my exhaust. I want it to be more noticeable than stock. No I don't want that civic crap I just want something that will get me more noticed. I'm lost on where I should start. It's an 04gt2 N/A. I don't know if I should throw a cherry bomb on there or new resonators or headers... And I was thinking wether I should put this on here out of fear of being kicked out of the GPF family but those slip ons you can get on amazon for 50$? I just need something that makes a little more noise. Thanks!

    Truth a little rumble tho helps start things off ya know lol. I personally will leave my exhaust stock. Besides like the dp and a PLOG. With my dp the car sounds dirty cold started. I assume it'll be even better with the PLOG but that just my personal deal

    I got ZZP headers and 3" stainless catback. my system was about $1500 bucks. but you can get a 2.5" aluminized catback for less than 500 bucks. takes like an hour or less to install and no welding.

    Yea I was going to make an intake this spring once the weather gets nicer. With the thrush can you just cut out the stock and weld them right into place?

    Yea I would like to get something like that because of the no welding because I don't have a welder so I would have to pay someone to get em welded on.

    You install a set of SD headers and you'll find out how "easy" it is lol. 98% of the are not just bolt on and move on.
    other headers like zzp are a direct fit and much easier but you pay for it.
