Hi,

Just recently got my exhaust and headers installed, and wanted to write a short and quick review, for anyone that is interested in purchasing a skunk2 exhaust for their car.

Pros: the sound of the exhaust - minimal droning on the highway, at higher revs it is quite loud. This is a pro for me because i like a loud exhaust, so for those that dont like loud exhausts you may not like it. this can also be a con obviously. power wise the exhaust i felt made alot of a difference. I havent lost much low end torque, and high rev torque has increased dramatically. the car revs a whole lot better, but has yet to be tuned. quality welds and build, the quality of the exhaust is awesome. good price. The exhaust fits perfectly, doesnt sit too low at all.

Cons: the sound of the exhaust - may be a bit too loud for some, but really isnt as loud as alot of other exhausts on the market such as buddyclub. as for more cons, cant think of any :)

Overall: I recommend skunk2 exhausts to anyone that is wanting to put a new system on there car. of course you have to want a loud exhaust, otherwise you will definitely go insane with the sound. The car has yet to be tuned with the exhaust, but when it does, ill let everyone know what sorta power it is making compared to the stock exhaust. skunk2 for performance :thumbsup:

stainless steel = loud. plus remember you have minimal sound deadening in ur car

but yer dyno results will tell whether its worth the extra $$

I got megapowerR 70mm for k20.
For normal street driving, it sound nice good and making power.
The bad thing is, when travelling on freeway at 100kms on 6gear, the engine rev at 3300rpm and the exhaust is just too loud. I can feel like the whole car just resonanse together. Might not happen to others.

Overall speaking, is really quality product and i like it so much. I would rate 8/10 for it.

With the right springs n shocks setup its better than most coilovers.

I know, but the adjustment paramaters on the coilover system are just so much easier to tune compared with a shock & spring combo, + ive never really heard anything good about adjustable shocks
