It is true, the stock setup is hard to beat.
I have however changed the headers for some cheap Chinese ebay specials, exceptional for the price. I have also removed the catalysts and put 2" bypass pipes in their place.
More power? Maybe a little. Better sound? It is louder, more throaty and metallic like a Porsche should be, but without the drone like a ricer. This I attribute to the muffler remaining stock.
To be quite honest it was more trouble and cost than it was worth, for little benefit, but it was fun to tinker around with it.
