Eurocharged are the best value for money in my opinion. They won't give you the power of long tubes but will give very noticeable gains. I think they are usually around US$500 + shipping, customs and welding. Long tubes are better, somewhere between NZ$3-5,000 depending on options.

The kleemann were more expensive than the eurocharged for pretty much the same thing.

Everyone has different opinions. Mine is to change the headers and leave the rest of the exhaust alone. It has good flow and it would be best to check the sound with headers before deciding whether to remove resonators etc. Most of the power gains are in the headers.

Cutting out secondaries and replacing with x pipe will make it louder.

No but it would help get the most of them and you have to deal with the rear O2 check engine light either with tune, spacers or STAR. I would suggest getting a eurocharged or raceiq tune regardless.

Yes since your primary cats will be removed. You can put cats back in (aftermarket, not the originals) but more work and expense of course.
