-Improve exhaust tone without going overboard of volume (This is my daily driver so I want to avoid too much noise, even after supercharging).
-Remain street legal (I am in Colorado, and not familiar with what you can usually get away with so any advice there would be great).
-Add lightness.

Any advice on putting a system togeather would be great. I have been reading up on different parts and listening to videos but its hard to compare a video to what I will experience IRL. Do I need a catted header to remain legal? If only one cat is required for legality would a catted header or front pipe be the better choice? Is 2.5" enough or should I consider something larger?

I am thinking an equal length header (haven't decided which one or whether it should be catted). Something like an Invidia Q300, which leaves the front pipe to replace with a catted or resonated section to keep sound in check. Ideally, it would be louder than stock but not much even after supercharging, but at the very least I want to avoid any drone to keep its everyday driveability.

Thoughts?
CSG Touring86 exhaust paired with the JRSC is a very good setup with minimal to no drone. We have the most experience with a variety of setups for the JRSC. Please let us know if you have any inquiries. Thank you!
