LOL, I'm one of those guys. I've had 5 exhausts on that car: Stock, Apexi N1, Nismo, JIC, and that one. All of them were way to loud with the Xerde headers. The JIC was the worst for volume, the Nismo actually sounded realy good at WOT, the Apexi sounded athsmatic, and stock was stock. This one is ~20lbs, 3", $200, and decent enough on dB that I can live with it.
Pretty sure I'm gonna go with the Motordyne XYZ single exit, I'de rather have the weight of the resonator in the middle of the car.
Short story if you want that one, speak up, it and the JIC ypipe will be for sale soon.

kind of off topic. Do you know if the HR headers work on a DE? Also did you find out if there is a difference between HR intake manifold and the DE manifold since you are doing a hybrid type motor?

I know there is a difference between the HR and DE intake manifold, the HR is square ported and the DE is round, I don't know yet if they are interchangable. That is what I have to wait until the end of the month to find out.

Not too easy, though.

So, what parts are actually swappable from a HR to a DE with a est price list so if someone what to do it they have a general idea.
Is the DE TB bigger? I thought the HR had a larger diameter TB.

What about the VQ37HR TB and intake manifolds can that be swapped into a HR motor? And if the VQ35HR IM can be swapped what about the VQ37HR? How much power increase do you think this will yield?
