Hey guys I have a Place Racing CAI and a Warpspeed Y, and I cant decided either to get pacesetter racing headers or a pacesetter Catback exhaust. Which would produce more power? And would the headers make my car any louder?

Headers are pointless for our cars, unless you have a cali spec. I have heard bad things on pace setter.

If you want the most out of your car, you will get near equal length headers. The current y-pipes on the market now are not equal length, so the harmonics are not very good, and I'm sure some power is lost.

IMO, a catback is near pointless. but if I were to do a catback, I would get a Cattman b-pipe and a stock A33 rear piece.

They are as equal length as you can get on FWD vehicle, so yes, they are equal length.

Stillen's 1st gen y-pipe was also equal length.
