Some people told me headers (IPE, Fabspeed, etc) will sound better and louder while others said custom exhaust (Fabspeed X-Pipe, Tubi). I do not want something with switch as I prefer valve open all the time.

I would appreciate any advice as I do not want to spend a lot as I may swap the car for an GTS in a year (worst case 1.5 years) or so.

Thank you

John touched on this but yes, we use authentic HJS cats for their outstanding quality and durability. The HD variant has a brazing stripe that goes around the converter to lock the core in place - prevents it from being dislodged from the punishment of 500+ horsepower. The triple metal matrix (spirals in the core) also increase the structural integrity.
