With the DC's I didn't really notice a drop in lowend power, but it pulls hard after 5.

If you're just sticking with boltons get a cold air intake, a decent header (Comptech, DC, Greddy, etc) and a nice catback. Everything is within a couple horses of everything else, which ones you pick isn't that big of a deal.

PaceSetter parts have extremely poor build quality. Their exhausts are well known to rust out in a very short period of time. I'm going assume their header build quality is similar. You can find USDM DC ceramic headers for around $250-300. That's not all that much more than these "bargain" headers you're looking at, and DC is a proven name with good build quality.

Top end power only rules on the strip and in acceleration contests. Torgue rules on road course/daily street driving.

don't go with the mugen, for the price of a mugen header you could get a dc one and a set of cams.
