I got HKS Hi-Power Dual Titanium. Sounds great, only down side is that one of the rear pipe will rattle against one of the OEM differential bolt. So the only solution is that the shop has to put a dimple into that section to create more room for vibration. This doesn't really affect the air flow because it's around the end of the pipe.

headers+hf cats + stock catback

pros: HUGE torque increase and parallel shifts in the power band
stock sound, but MUCH louder and deeper*
probably ended up paying the same aamount as if i'd gotten a HKS, except this way I get better sound and performance gains


cons: bye-bye gas mileage (but who cares about that)

* it sounds soooo good with teh stock catback that I didn't install the injen SES I had.

scott performance exhaust with TP = LOUD. Havent dynoed but i do definitly feel a overall gain through out the powerband. These days, if i gas a little harder than usual my rear tired would spin and my tail would kick a little. I dont know if it was more of the TP that gave me this power or the exhuast though.

Injen SES + kinetix HFCs

had them for 1 year 10K miles

Pros = Loud and deep, good gain up top, Lighter than stock, no rasps, no rattles, no cracks, no problems...

Cons = In my case none (some people had stuffing blowing out)

By exhaust do you mean cat-back or the complete system?




Alphawerks Stainless Steel Headers - Kinetix High Flow Catalytic Converters - Injen Super SES Cat-Back Exhaust System: compared to stock its pretty loud. Other than that I’m satisfied with the performance.

-Past had a Borla True Dual. It was ok, but develops exhaust leaks because of their use of cheap clamps and a million pieces. Once I welded all the pipes it was much better. Many other exhausts are a better choice IMO

-Currently have a Injen SES which is left over from my NA days. Loved it while NA, cannot wait to get rid of it now though. Way to restrictive for my Twins

-Future looking forward to the SVR 3" Dual exhaust with X pipe or the APS 3" system.

Invidia N1 and Ichiba Y pipe.
Sounds awesome. Pretty loud, but not too loud for me. Under regular excelleration it is about 2X stock after 4K it turns into a beast.
So far no cons.

HKS HI-Power True Dual Ti tip exhaust.

Pros: AMAZING sound, looks great, free flowing enough to please my twins, great fit, and superb quality.
Cons: Can't really think of any except that its pretty expensive, but its worth it IMHO, so not really a con...
