Go with our headers and high flow cat. That won't be too loud either. Cam is expensive and a pretty tough install unless you are doing other stuff too.

Also have to think about what you want out of the car, caming is great if you plan on staying NA but if you have any thoughts of going FI it could end up being a good 1000$ waste of money. Personally I've decided to just get my suspension done and then, if money is available, turbo the car. NA is fun and all, and I'm sad to say if I had a honda I'd stay NA, but I don't feel like spending 1000$ with install for a camshaft and deal with a lumpy idle and all that or 1200$ plus install for a ported head when I'll be lucky to get 15 hp out of the deal. For 4000$ I can be sitting at 200 hp easy. Which is the better option?

Good call ambystom

For cams - hit up vision imports.com. That's the only place i've seen so far... believe me, i've searched.

My exhaust set up was Kami header / RRM test pipe / Greddy cat back = hella LOUD.

I opted for a hi flow cat with my kami headers since i have the OEM exhaust on again ( hole in the resonator )

I'm going to stay N/A for now so i'm looking into cams & pistons but like he said - it all depends what you're gonna do with the car.

This has been covered over and over, please don't start a "which header is better" discussion because it will become a never-ending pile of crap that rolls down a hill of eternity. The general consensus in the past has been that RPW has slightly better gains than RRM but the RPW is (obviously) not compatible with any of RRM's turbo kits. Also Kamikaze headers usually leak, just in case you were thinking about them as well.

Meh - to each his own.

Personally, i've had the kami headers for almost a year now and no leak problems. Just my .02 though - use lock nuts when bolting the downpipe to the header. They won't loosen like the regular nuts will. Easy peasy.

You should not have to do that. Just make sure you have no vacuum leaks and the car will idle fine etc...
