    Back on topic: Any system you buy will obviously lower the weight of your exhaust. The biggest weight drop would be to do what that genius Ektor did and just remove your exhaust and leave nothing there.

    The WORKs exhaust has no muffler, so that would be the next lightest option. Then comes all sorts of mufflers that are universal or built for our car. If you have a shop weld on a universal muffler, you arent guarenteed a good flow out the tail. At least with one designed for our car, HOPEFULLY the shop designed it the high quality standards.

    From what I have read of your posts here and on EvoM, you are probably just going for look and sound, so your youtube search is your best bet. Buy the exhaust you like and find a local shop to get that thing on. But then if you are trying to impress people on car forums, your best bets are either RRM or the Injen SES system once it comes out.

    hahah, i could care less what people online have to say.
    all i'm saying is

    For $300 What REAL HP gains can i get from an exhaust?

    If i had the cash for the SES i would get one on the spot but i dont and i'm not good at saving.

    So i guess my next bet would be impress myself.

    take it from me, you guys won't be disapointed in the SES system from Injen. Save some cash.

    Even still, by the time Injen finally gets this thing out MAYBE more companies will either have their own header-back, or at least the price will drop for other mufflers and such.

    Nice tone, not so loud going +80 on the freeways. Gives good low-end punch.

    I'd save the cash.

    low-end? I thought it was for the top? So many opinions!!!!!!

    i figured my cold air helped with the topend because the low end punch of a cold-air intake is NON apparent.

    so im left to think that my pulley, piggy and exhaust are helping with the lower end.

    Going from stock to Injen SES, i noticed RIGHT AWAY that the needle climbed quicker then with my stock exhaust set up.

    plus who are you gonna believe? Lolz. I haz it. Anyone else who claims to know what this thing does is a 2nd-hand opinion

    I disagree, alot of companies hike up prices due to demand, R&D, and there name.

    Custom exhausts if made and right and u knoe what you are doing. can be as good as a popular name brand system.

    I think if I bought a high flow cat and nice muffler and brought it to a shop for a tru catback..it could perform as well as a pop, name company.

    ha thanks
    2 monthes ago, I couldn't wait for the injen system to come out. I sold all my non necessities on ebay, I finally have enough money and now i'm having second thoughts lol. Its the fact i actually have the money that is giving me second thought of spending it cause I really want to get my motorcycle license this summer...and a bike. That'll feed me need for speed for a while

    if you wanna just buy a muffler nobody is stopping you but im not too sold on the idea these mufflers provide 4+ hp like some people have mentioned.
    It's all up to you now.
