I'm curious, why don't you like the SW? I'm looking to pick a set up to pair with my Gibson.

The way we go about selecting the headers is this.

All 3 of the usa made are top notch and you can't go wrong.

1) For Full systems out of the gate.
Any of the 3 work great, and all have full 3" performance connect setups.

2) For those that want to keep the stock exhaust but want the best performance gain, we like the ARH. The ARH is going to delete the resonator by going back further in the system. Still gives the sleeper sound, but more tone, and max performance.

3) For those that have a specific cat back they want to buy or already have bought, we recommend the sw, sp, or kooks, as those will stop at the factory connection point and mate directly to the fact connect cat back.

4) For those that have a specific axle back they want to buy or already have bought, we recommend the arh, again, like # 2, they delete the resonator and will give a max effort gain.

5) For those that are very sensitive to drone, and have specific axle back they want or have already bought, and want to keep the resonator, we recommend the sw, sp, or kooks. Again, as they will stop at the fact connection point.

The quality of sw, arh, and kooks are all the very best. 304 stainless lifetime warranty. SP has a 2 year warranty.

You cannot go wrong with any selection at the end of the day. We use the above guidelines and it works very well.
Awesome info! SW it is. Now my only decision is race or catted.. Obviously for emissions and CEL reasons.

I like them all.

That ARH full system sound though:)

Oh and you can't deny Josh's SW and Corsa exhaust sounds fantastic!

We've tested them all, we have our preference as do all the shops that work on their own cars.

Just some vids for you to enjoy.

so I'm guessing any header setup is going to sound the same with the American Racing catback, like sp with the ARH cat back?
what is it about their muffler that makes the car sound so high pitched? I absolutely love it

I don't think you'll notice much difference in sound from header to headers.

that will come mainly from the back half

as far as the arh catback sound, it's all in the design! :)
