Like I said if I decide I want a bit more sound I'll do an X pipe.

You could start with the Xpipe cuz it's cheap, and then do an axle back or headers for more sound.

For what it's worth headers are the best power adder, but I need the cats for emissions here in Jersey. If I didn't, I'd just do headers with my exhaust and forget about the X pipe.
Intake drowns it out? afe unit? I've just got a 2.5" velocity stack at the front of the air box, seems to help in the higher rpms, but no audible differences lol. Going to install a K&N filter (unknown filter in there now) and call it a day for the intake.

I'd like to get the Strett silicone intake kit/resonator delete and the afe intake, but it's a daily lol my other car is getting pissed off.
