I recommend Vibrant for header and dp just because thats what i have and the gain was nice. there are other choices though. I like my setup (see sig) but it was kinda expensive too......

Dual exhaust is completly unessisary for our cars, not to mention its complicated to rig up. Stick with a good 2.5" cat back with mandrel bends. Even that is a little over kill IMO.

A mandrel bend is a specific way to bend pipeing so that the internal diameter is a constant size throughout the pipe and bend. Typical cheap exhaust bends loose some internal size when bent. For example a 2.5" i.d. pipe will only be 2.25'' i.d in the bend. Mandrel bending keeps the i.d. a constan 2.5", its more exspensive way to make exhaust but more than worth it.

This is all personal prefrence man. No one has tested every exhaust system on the same car on the same dyno on the same day. So it is really really really hard for anyone to say which exhaust gives better gains over another exhaust. Everyone is just going to suggest what they have because thats whay they bought so they want to think that it is awesome. Its personal prefrence no one can tell you which exhaust is best for your car, get what you want.

bullshit, you didnt search...
if you have a 2.0L, common sense would have said "hey, i'll check the 2.0 LSJ Performance Section", but it looks like you lack in the common sense department.

Very true, but one thing that we all can agree on however is that the stock 2.2 exhaust is very restrictive. The only reason I suggested the Vibrant unit is because its T-304 stainless steel and will last as longer than the car. I'm getting a complete LSJ exhaust together at the moment and honestly it should be right on par with anything out there, its just not going to be as pretty.
