Wat is a good (not tooo expensive) set of headers?
and is a rmw cam necessary?

i have the basics done (CAI, pulley, 400cc injectors, and swaybar) wat is the best choice?

You have more mods than me, but since no one has chimed in, i thought i'd share my thoughts. For exhaust, i am either going to get the tsudo N1 extreme exhaust (most likely) or the IE exhaust. For a header, i'd probably go for a megan if it were me, but i live in california, so i dont think i'll be doing a header. a cam isn't necissary, but from what ive read, the rmw cam will give you i think about 8 hp and 11 tq, and(with a tune) will give you good timing. personally, when i get a cam, it will be a rmw cam.
Hope that helps,
Austin

i would go with a RMW street cam, OBX header with the stock cat and a Alta catback.

btw how are them 400cc injectors running with out a tune?

Budget Headers and Exhaust=OBX and Megan
RMW Cams the way to go then tune.
Nothing wrong with used components either.
