The gains are minimal at best without headers but for the most part we all go to Shea Stadium, there's a guy there that's done at least 5 GS and his welding is top notch. After you get it, just give a heads up and one of us can take you over there.

I'd go catback with an x pipe. Headers are a beautiful thing, that's a good route to take. Don't know if you've got a GS3 or 4 but imo the Borla system sounds like an absolute beast with or without the reasonators on. A lot of have went the cheaper route to Magnaflows and they are decent soundwise. But Borla's are in a different world altogether.

if u want maximum hp gain from catback exhaust then u'll prolly need; highflow cats, x pipe, good quality resonators, high flow mufflers and last but not least...mandrel bent pipes to make it all smooth.

American Muffler in long island. I dont have their number because my phone with all of my contacts is broken but im sure its in the yellow pages. Its located in old country road.

They do exhausts for alot of drag cars and their work is top notch. Nice clean welds. Its where I used to take my other cars.
