I have no idea if that price is good or not. But did u check with the vendors on this site? They seem to have the best pricing on everything.

Do you have a turbo kit OP?

And that exhaust is discontinued if I remember correctly, so I suppose that price is fine. But if you don't have a turbo kit, why by a exhaust designed for turbo cars?

I believe that the Turbo TiC dual exhaust replaced this exhaust last year. Some vendors still have some left. But if your going to being doing a turbo install than this is a great idea. Good luck.

so i guess i should look up the Greddy Tic and see what that exhaust is all about.

The single TiC yes, the dual TiC no. The Evo TT is discontinued from what a vendor told me on here. The Dual TiC is the replacement for the Evo TT and should only be used for a turbo setup since it has larger piping. If you are going to add a turbo kit later on this would not be a bad investment now since you would have to replace the exhaust again once you went FI. But if you are going to have your car NA for a couple years before going FI, I would look into exhaust with small diameter piping to use for the time being.

To be completely honest, probably yes. Will it be enough to feel? Probably no. The cause for the loss in power is the larger diameter piping on the exhaust eliminating needed back pressure. Lets just say that you would be taking a step back and a step forward. The spacer would give you some extra power that the larger exhaust would take away... If you want more power NA, test pipes will yield more bang per buck than anything.

Lets just say that you wouldn't gain as much if you went with a smaller diameter exhaust. But when you go FI, you will receive the benefits of having a bigger exhaust. I would say buy the Evo TT or the TiC Dual depending on the looks. They are the exact same size in regards to piping. The TiC Dual can be had for 999 shipped I believe, so that may be something to consider. This will save you money in the long run because when you go FI in a few months, you will already have a good exhaust for it. If you bought the Nismo exhaust now for example you would have to sell it and lose some money to switch over to a larger exhaust.

If you went with any twin turbo kit those exhausts would be a good choice. And no greddy does not make a single turbo kit. TN is one company that does off the top of my head.
