Headers/Exhaust

I'm looking at getting some new headers and possibly a new exhaust for Christmas, but I'm not sure what is a good price and what's good performance. I'm not trying to spend over $500 though.

I found this one...?
Max-Redline.com - Toyota 2008 Scion XB Performance Stainless Racing Header 2.4L

Thanks for any help!

okay, so i got the Strup race headers from santa. :)
I've been trying to install them but i keep running into problems. i've got the 5 bolts on the top off, the 2 spring bolts off, but found the 2 14mm bracket looking ones. any advice on getting them off?
i removed the plastic from under the car. then wile under the car used a breaker bar to break the bolts losse. took a good amout of force to break it loose.i also used a wrench and not a socket.
I got my strup headers installed, but had to unbolt my dipstick, and I've been experiencing a lag whenever I step on the gas. Has anyone else experienced these problems?

Pics to follow
If it acts weird, unplug the battery, wait a bit (15 minutes or more) and replug. That should reset the ECU and it relearn the power band/curve w/ the header.
any ideas on fixing my Dipstick problem?
Well, I took my CEL eliminator off, and the lag went away. So, I guess that's a waste of money.

CEL eliminator is a must have you wont run well without it and the engine will go into limp mode. Make sure it is installed on the S- pipe section of the exhaust some people have made the mistake of attaching it to the a/f sensor attached on the header. The header should have come with the dip stick relocator which is basically a small aluminum piece and a nut and bolt that extends the dip stick enough as to not interfere with the header.

OHHH! thank you! I should have read the directions a little to see what that nut and bolt and aluminum piece was for. haha
