Default 6gen Exhaust and headers questions

Hello everyone,
I am in the market for some headers and a new exhaust system for my 98 coupe i4.

Exhaust
I have been looking at the Greddy EvoII and Tanabe Hyper Medalion...any thoughts on these?
Also, does any one have an axleback system? Which ones? What are your thoughts on catback Vs. axelback?
Open to suggestions!

Headers
What should I look for, 4-2-1, 4-1? Ceramic?
I was kind of thinking DC Sports, but haven't done much research...input would be very welcome as would suggestions.

Thanks Everyone!

I have the tanabe catback. Nice deep tone, and its not obnoxious, Very nice exhaust system. As for headers, I would stick with DC.

Apex'i and Greddy exhaust catbacks are good.... but greddy's tend to be louder....

as for headers, go for the 4-2-1 cos it helps out in the low-end (more torque)... 4-1 only helps out the high-end (more hp).... stick w/ DC for headers..

Axleback, like Comptech's system will only net you sound, no gain whatsoever.

Personally I have the AEM CAI, GReddy Evo2 full catback and DC header

Any opinions on an HKS catback system? My son's got one in his Gen2 Integra and I think it's a bit loud, and the fit (at least on his car) sucked. I'm after a deeper toned system than the HKS produces, and don't want to compromise ground clearance either. . .Don't necessarily need s.s on an everyday driver. (it will be mated to a DC Sport ceramic 4-2-1 header)

Look into Magnaflow.
Looks just like the Comptech mufflers ( and has a stock look to it on my accord ) cheaper than Comptech too.
