I want to someday run a turbo and I heard some where that the stealth exhaust can't run one for what ever reason.

loud loud... you can run stealth with a turbo... i know slammed 2.0 did it and he wishes he kept his race section.

most people start off with race and header and end up buying stealth

My neighbor is "that guy" with the loud as shiat exhaust on his STi, so I don't give two hoots about making too much noise.

And then just adding a muffler to your oem exhaust is the least costliest.

Isn't 2.5" a little much if you don't intend to turbo (keep it NA)? And what did you end up running? I thought I read it in another thread you have a stealth on top of a Borla system? I am curious as heck as to what you are running...

If your going w/ a exhaust system get a 2.5'' mandrell bent system. I have added a Fwerks header & stealth muffler to my Borla system. I installed the header/flex & stealth & removed the Borla muffler, but left the Borla resonator next to the fuel tank. It had awesome deep tone, but was pretty loud, so I installed my Borla muffler behind the stealth & it all fits to.

Any tips and tricks for installing the FSWerks header and flex pipe onto the FSWerks race exhaust? Should be ordering Monday evening.

I used my original manifold gasket, & I oblonged the block to manifold bracket on the header side. Just slot the two holes on the header side. This bracket makes the header soild. I also used part of the insulation off the manifold to cover the alt. from heat. I'd for sure add a stealth muffler to your order too.

Meh, not worried about it being loud. Loud around here is straight pipe pick-up trucks (I was once in that crowd) and some of the ricers. Thanks for the tips though.
