Default Xerds or Crawford?

I have tried to search info about the xerds, but very little is known aboyt them.

What do you suggest, Xerds or Crawford? Xerds costs about 550$ and Crawfords goes to nearly the double. I have allready test-pipes so i don't mind that xerds can't use cats.

I'm only looking for power, nothing else.

If your looking for power go with the Xerd long tubes that way you don't have to use any test pipes or cats.They bolt right up to your exhaust.Thats what I had when I was NA.I had Injen SES true dual for my exhaust.Only bad thing was the exhaust note was a little raspy.

The power gains will be higher with Xerds than with Crawford? I supose that Xerds will be raspy like the tests pipes, because it has thems allready

the design was basically what a long tube header was on a domestic motor setup...not much r/d, we installed a set when they first came out before utec's were born so the gains were nominal at best

The crawfords have bigger diameter pipes and flanges. They also are very close to the clutch reservoir though, so it is a good idea to high temp coat them and get a higher temp clutch fluid.
