Default Exhaust? Headers?

I'm so lost. I'm purchasing the AEM V2 intake....problem is, i don't know which exhausts. What's better for the s2k: HKS, Skunk, Invida?etc?...Also, are the DC headers good for the s2k, are there plently of hp gain?...If not DC, then what?

A header won't make a noticeable power improvement. Most exhausts won't gain much, either. I'm not familiar with the ones you listed, but if you want to actually make power, you'll have to go with a single outlet exhaust.

I was told by a few local people to gain power from headers or exhuast I should go with either Spoon,Toda,Or Mugen because you will get hardly any power from the other exhuast on the maket but my buddy did go with a Vielside Teardrop and he got a 10 RWHP increase running stock headers He also said the Spoon gives about them same But it weight alittle more then the VeilSide and doesn`t sound as good (Both are single not dual)

i can say for sure that the mugen header does not improve peak hp, only midrange hp. the toda is dyno proven to gain peak hp, and is highly recommended.

I was under the impression that the apexi-n1 was discontinued, however today when i checked bulletproof automotive, for the first time i seen it listed. so maybe they had a little problem and it was resolved?!? Dunno, definately wish i woulda seen this before i bought my invidia system though.

J's racing claims that their new header will produce more HP than the other ones because of its bigger piping size.
I have one on order, once it comes in, I'll do a dyno of my Mugen and hten the J's racing.
