I already ordered my OBX headers. And now i need to know what would be better. I really dont mind the noise or loud sounds. Oh and you guys tell me if will be any difference in sound or performance after i install the headers alone
 
Well, I have an OBX header also with HKS hi-power axle back w/ OBX mid-pipe...Ive heard nothing but good things about The racing beat exhaust...im sure everyone will say racing beat
 
The MSP exhaust has the same diameter tubing as the P5, just the axleback is different. You'll get more power from the Greddy since it uses larger tubing.

But the header will produce power on it's own (probably more than a catback on it's own), since the primary cat is the most restrictive part of our exhausts.
 
You will definitely feel gains from the header, and you will probably hear more exhaust noise from under the hood, rather than out the back tailpipe...I drove with the OBX - MAM High-flow cat and the stock axle-back for a while...and loved the quiet power. I only upgraded the axle-back to the MSP Racing beat and definitely thought it freed up the flow. If you can get a cheap axle-back, I'd say for the money it's better than a full cat-back...The stock diameter is 2.25" and the Racing Beat full Cat-back is only like 2.35", so most of the difference is in the muffler can itself...Anyway, I got my exhaust for $60 bucks, so I all about the deal. No plans to upgrade in my future, you'll only get like 1-2hp out of it anyway, so why spend hundreds of bucks.

my megan catback with headers sounds sick!

get the greddy, people say that the racing beat is good because its quite. people say that the megan and the greddy is loud. its not, there just old, lol.
 
The megan sounds sick...Like you've just received head trauma kinda sick...I couldn't stand the reverberation of the sound through the cab...It sounds great outside the car, but inside it just scrambled my brain, and I couldn't hear anything, even with the stereo blasting, it was all exhaust...
 
the greddy is not loud at all, when sitting at idle, you can barely notice the difference, when getting to high rpms it gets loud, but that only when you redline it or punch it. at highway speeds and cruising it 5th gear there is no drone. I love my greddy to death. its deffinitly my choice and i think everyone should have it. and the best thing of all, its not ricey at all. sounds real deep and badass.
 
Thanks yea it sounds like im going for the Greddy i mean i knew i couldnt go wrong. Now i also want an Injen CAI or should i get an SRI

um, its up to you, pro5's dont get any gain from intakes, except throtal response and but dyno gains. i got the bomz intake with a k&n filter and i love it. $80 shipped total.
