So after the headers(the dark brown) pipes is the collecting pipes and the cat (the chunky thing) then the mid pipe?

So to get racing beat headers, I wouldnt need the collecting pipes (see image)

That would connect to the cat + Mid pipe + Muffler?

SMB
stock NB header (seen darker in the photo) | extended secondary pipes and hi flow cat | mid pipe (no resonator) | muffler

Most other after market systems
Extractors | hi flow cat | mid pipe (often with resonator) | muffler
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Booooo !

Looks like Autoexe don't make the Titanium muffler for the NB anymore :(

Probably because its too expensive for just the muffler.
