Your stock header collector and main exhaust pipe is 60-60.5mm (about 2.36 inches). You should not get a testpipe that is larger than the main pipe of the exhaust you are (or plan to be) running. This will cause stagnated exhaust flow (just like if you gutted your cat). If you are staying with the stock exhaust, I believe invidia makes a 60mm, as well as others. If you plan on installing a 63.5mm exhaust (2.5 inches) or larger, I would go with berk, but you could always get away with a 60mm without losing exhaust velocity since about 6 inches of the header collector pipe is that size anyway. (if you don't know what you are going to do with the exhaust yet. IMHO, I'd wait til you decide on a catback and install them at once, but your call.

Is it even worth spending the money when you have a stock header and stock exhaust? doesnt seem like it would do very much except empty the wallet.

With stock exhaust definitely get the Megan since it is 2.36", the Berk is 2.5" which is slightly larger than the stock piping diameter.

A testpipe is a nice mod with the stock exhaust, cut out the stock resonator and you'll have a nice sounding system.
