I got the Borla ATAK Axle-Back a few weeks ago. I now want to replace the stock resonators and H-pipe with an X-Pipe.

I see this: http://www.amazon.com/Borla-60512-X-Pipe/dp/B003D4TDDA

Which lists, on the Borla website, which axle-backs it's made to work with. The ATAK is not on the list. My assumption is that it's because the ATAK came out after this was made and it just hasn't been updated. Can any of you confirm that this will work, and will essentially be the exact same as the full ATAK cat-back?

Additionally, I do not want to void my warranty just yet and thus have no intention of doing a tune until I get to that point. I would like a few extra horses, and some better sound, so I was looking at getting some shorty headers. Would I actually see an increase (product pages claim anywhere from 5 to 15 for shorties)? Also, does the material affect the sound? Since I will eventually go to LTs when I'm okay dropping the warranty I don't want to drop a tonne on shorties, so was looking at getting the Chrome BBKs ($319). Would I be displeased with them and better off getting the Stainless steel for an extra 150 or would the chrome suffice me until my LTs (probably in a year)
