I dont know. I have the old Injen intake, and an Agency Power single 3". I am told everywhere i go that it is the best sounding exhuast for my car bar none. It's loud, and the car has a cam, so it lopes at idle, but i have not had one person say its bad. I will try and make a clip of it and post it up.

explain to me why noobs post threads asking what the 'best' intake, exhaust, headers, etc are, ALL THE TIME? they're asking for OPINIONS. so instead of having 2309835049403 threads on this, everyone's opinions can be HERE. in ONE thread.

see?

Congrats you fail (at understanding the purpose of the thread)!


You were right that it's a collection of individual opinions.

The thing is, you see noobs asking "which exhaust/intake/headers is best" all the time. This thread is to illustrate to the forum at large why asking such questions is useless: because you will get 20-30 different answers which are usually based on what people own!

Hence, THERE IS NO "BEST" ... it says that right in the Top 100 Questions Thread.

And I have to disagree. AEM/Nismo intakes suck install wise. I will stick with my Injen. AEM is not the best engine management system. How about something like MOTEC... And guys everything of what I hear is that the Kinetix SSV Manifold sucks ****.. Besides if your going to spend the coin for the SSV then pick yourself up a Cosworth manifold and see whats up.

so it seems like the majority of people are saying the HKS true dual is the best exhaust... im guessing you guys mean looks and performance wise right?? cause it seems the majority of people on the forum are saying HKS sounds like a honda/sh@t....

I'm a noob and and the process of dumping some cash into the engine. Although this thread is only "personal opinions"... you can always get the feeling of what most Z riders install in there engines. For example, HKS lookis like a fav exhaust, and the Crawards are the most favorable for headers....

This thread is great for people like me so thanks!!

Question, why 5/16" spacer as opposed to the 1/2"?



EDIT: Found the answer.

I don't want to come off as rude, but if you do a little searching, you'll see there are literally hundreds of posts from people who have this exhaust. There is no way you could possibly have a question about this unit after reading even a small fraction of the posts that have been made about it in the past several years

If you want to know why a vendor has it on the clearance list, why not call and ask them? My guess - they have too many and want to clear out some inventory
