Um.  I read in a performance handbook that the BEST thing you can do 
for your exhaust system (at the expense of some durability of that 
part of your car) is get a set of Supersprint Triple-Y exhaust 
headers.  It is also recommended that you  get a stiffer front motor 
mount, to reduce flexing, and thus stress to the (slightly) more 
fragile headers.  I think the kit to do this is about 300$ american?
