      Pacesetter are the headers and you just take your car to a exhuast shop and have them put a 3" exhaust on, although Summit sells a Dynomax 3" over the axle exhaust pipe for like $125 shipped thats the only part youll need since most exhaust shops dont have a mandrel bender. Youll pay close to $300-400 for a 3" exhaust. Youll need a 3" cat too. Then pick your muffler with tips, Dynomax super turbo muffler is one of the best mufflers for sound. But theres flowmaster , magneflow and tons of others to choose from. For a lid youll have to shop around.

        Pacesetter makes a set of headers for these cars... but here's the thing - if you plan on going turbo, forget the headers as you'll need to either make a custom set or use the set that comes with a kit as the pacesetters won't work (nor will any other N/A headers/exhaust manifolds for that matter)

        What do you plan on using the car for? You mentioned show car...are you going to be racing with it? What type of racing? Drag? Road Course? Auto cross? Is it just going to be a weekend cruiser that you open up every so often on some clear road for a little exhilaration? Is it just a daily driver you want to have a little more fun with?

        And then - what is your technical knowledge background when it comes to doing the work? How much mechanical skill do you have?

          It will be a daily driver to just have some fun in and show off my work.

            well if it were me then start off with the bolt ons and get comfortable with your car...a little weight reduction (light weight suspension, rims, remove unnecessary weight) try and dive into doing some tuning on your own and see what you like/don't like about your car...then from there you can make a plan on what you want to do based on what type of performance you want to gain and what things you want to sacrifice as a result
