GE8 Exhaust Upgrade?

Hello Fellow FE8 Fit Owners,

Hope you are well. Considering upgrading the exhaust. Have searched some for posts regarding with no luck. Can someone please point me to them, if they exist?

3/20/2025 update: Better plan might be to just put on a Header with integrated Cat:

^Get 5-8 WHP with not as much noise penality.

My tentative plan:
1) install Magna Flow High Flow Cat 2.5"
monitor for Check Engine Light, Make it go off. Nuclear Option: put stock back on
Measure performance increase?
2) install Vibrant Resonator 2.5"
3) install Tanabe Medallion Axle Back exhaust
monitor for Check Engine Light Make it go off. Nuclear Option: put stock back on
Might be a good stopping point depending on perfomance increase (say sub 9 sec, 5-60 MPH?)
If continue:
4) Magna flow Header with high flow cat (~$1k)

x) Vtuner - but illegal for street use?

Can you please offer info., guidance, informed opinion, help?
Thanks in advance!
Yo
