Default My next mod

Alright I have enough money to eithor get the Flowmaster mufflers or the Hooker headers, but not both yet. So which one gives you a better performance boost?

And no, I'm not gonna spend $1000 for Corsa exhaust.

I think that if you put the headers on first, you would still have the restriction at the back end (mufflers) and might not see much gain. If you intend to do both at some point, you might want to start with the Flows. It sure would breath better.

Which is more of a preference for you, sound or performance.

If its sound, get the Flowmasters.
If its performance, definitely get the headers.
