Most of the bang for your buck ones have been mentioned.

Now it just depends on how long you are willing to wait. If you go JDL or FT86Speedfactory, order now to get in line.

Otherwise Tomei, OFH, Borla etc you should be able to get right away.

What would be a good OP & FP to pair with Perrin resonated CBE & JDL/OFH? I'm planning on either staying NA with 2.5" exhaust. Would it be better to just leave OP/FP stock?

JDL front pipe or the nameless op/fp combo.

No personal experience (not yet...JDL header coming soon!), but I've heard that using a JDL header with a stock OP will produce tractor-like noises. This is allegedly caused by the decreased diameter from header to OP.

To be safe, I went ahead and got the JDL OP and resonated FP to go with my UEL header.

I'm thinking about the JDL front pipe. Does anyone have experience with JDL FP and OFH?

I remember seeing a thread where JDL posted some thermal simulation pics demonstrating the issue when pairing their header with stock OP. I can't seem to find it anymore. If there isn't much quality/performance to be gained from JDL vs OFH, I'll probably go with OFH+OFT+Perrin CBE.
