Stock exhaust headers are solid cast iron and look like one solid unit while aftermarket headers are stainless steal and look like 3 tubes welded together to make one unit. They look totally different.

There is a heat shield that covers the OEM headers. It does not always look rusted.

You're probably the only person I know that doesn't have access to a camera.

Seriously, I have a 3MP camera on my phone, better than any digital camera I've owned in the past.

Nothing like throwing a couple hundred lbs in your trunk to slow you down. I had a really big system in my Maxima. I had a single 10W6 in the CL and I thought it was good.

Also, if you need stereo stuff, I still have some stuff I took out of the CL. Amps, changer, eq, hu, cap.

I take it you will be looking to add subs to your existing stock HU. I would go with the MTX 2 channel amp and the 10W6. JL Subs are great. You can bridge it mono and get some serious bang. If you go with a pair of 12's, I would probably go with either the MTX or the Soundstream. I had the Soundstream pushing 2 12's with each sub bridged to 2 ohms and it worked well.

I think unless you upgrade the entire system, getting 2 12's may be a waste of money. It may be way too much.

That always cracks me up when people go out and do engine mods, but then they go out and get some heavy ass 19 inch rims and put a fat ass system in the trunk.

Easier said than done. A box should always be secured in your trunk.
