I don't really want to dump too much money into the exhaust system so I figured I was just going to get Tomei UEL headers and leave the rest of the exhaust stock for now. Is this recommended? To my knowledge the majority of the performance gains would be coming from the headers anyway, and doing this would bring the subie rumble to life, which would really be sufficient as far as sound goes. Do I need a catback as well to even notice a difference? Thanks in advance!
I originally installed a JDL UEL catless header, 2.5" OP, and a catted & resonated FP with the stock catback. In my opinion, a catless header + stock catback sounds a bit farty.
