I'd like headers for the perf gains and am considering an x-pipe for sound smoothing (as well as resonators). I really want a lower, rumbly tone, not a race-car shriek+rasping sound. (I can hear it now, "yeah, yeah, read the forums" -- I know there are a ton of posts on this topic).
Your OEM X-pipe is already resonated. Going aftermarket will increase the rasp and noise.
