Currently I think the only options for a full system are Kleemann or Carlsson/Supersprint.

The key in not mixing components is really about not mixing performance levels. Matching a good header with a good cat and a good muffler is what is important. The brand being the same is not as critical. It is nice when a tuner does offer all the pieces though, as it does make it easy!

Thanks,
Brad

sporters78,

I don't think Renntech offers a full exhaust, only stainless steel headers.
There are different levels of CK55RS kits, the 5K version only includes ECU, Pullies, and Filters, whereas the 15K version also has a complete exhaust system.

You are correct. My thinking was I would do the 5k job and get headers for about another 5k installed and I would have saved 5k for the full exhaust. But Carlsson did/does not make headers and that's why I was stuck with ECU and pulleys until now.
