^ thanks.

As far as test pipes go ... well get resonated to minimize the rasp. You will still get a little no matter what, so keep that in mind.

Headers are typically not worth the pain in the a$$ to get them installed. They can be extremley hard to fit in the small space we are given. If your going to do headers, the only one worth the time is Crawford from what I understand. They also are the hardest to install. So weigh your options... I found that I just couldnt bring myself to spend 900 on the headers plus like 500 or more on install. It all depends on your plans... Often times poeple lost power on the dyno with some of the headers offered for our cars. So make sure you do your research before you dish out the $$.

You'd have to change them out. But how often is it getting inspected?

Using test pipes is illegal for street use. They will not pass a simple visual inspection.

considering i installed the hks alone without a lift just stands.

which headers and testpipies do you recomend? what you guys do everytime the car needs to be inspected cause they are illegal
Installing test pipes is fairly easy.
Installing headers is a biaotch..just pay someone to do it unless you truly love doing stuff like this.

As far as headers, I would recommend Crawfords.
Test pipes, there are a lot of choices out there. UTR resonated TP is one of better choices.
I've also had experience with Fast intention and Titek TP, and I can tell you that their quality is very high.

The exhaust gets loud after like3.5- 4rpms , other wise not really loud. At 3.5 4 the sounds is more high pitch which is what I like other wise the sound is more like a low tone
How can I check if there is a leak? Or is this the way the exhaust sounds and I’m just being paranoid. I don’t get any lights or anything the car runs fine.
the HKS system doesn't have a Y pipe lol. It's a full dual exhaust.

Not worth it with the mods you have. Get more mods before it and you'll gain greater results.

BTW, you can REALLY use some search feature. Many of these topics have been covered before.
