Exhaust system worth it?

Um...I have cattman headers and I'm sure they will provide much better gains than a y-pipe. My de-k feels like it will pull hard much past the redline. You also drop a lot of weight since the oem headers are cast iron, IIRC +-30lbs. They look great under the hood as well. I'm more than happy with the overall outcome.

I had a dyno day a few weeks back
me 5th gen (5spd, ecu, intake, y-pipe)
vs
friend 5th gen (5spd, intake, cattman headers, cattman exhaust)
from 2-5k we are even in hp and tq. I have more hp and tq than him from 3500-4200 rpm but his power valve was broken, so I ended up putting out 10hp more after 5200 rpm
both dyno'ed at the same day, within 30 minutes of each other.
Considering I don't even have a catback, lightened flywheel, udp, or lightweight rims.....

I have stillen y,catback and intake from ebay. kept the B-pipe but I had to yank the muffler section, too loud for my taste -the drone frome 2.2-3.1K rpm while on the highway drove me nuts.
I think that the best setup = intake, Y & B pipe w/stock muffler
good performace gains, WOT has a real nice tone, but only slighlty louder otherwise.

Its significantly louder than stock... it drones in the cabin too... but only till 2500 rpm.... I liked it... but it had to go...
