N*Power is probably not as good as XForce for quality/performance, but people who have used them generally say that they're good quality for their price and when you consider the potential of the D-series power gain you may as well go on the cheap. I highly recommend it.


Also, if you want to see any power gain at all you should consider a cheap high-flow catalytic converter (N*Power makes these also) and a cat-back exhaust system (mild-steel and press-bent with a Super Cheap Auto $50 muffler tip). Otherwise your increased exhaust flow will become restricted again at your standard catalytic converter, and then again at your standard cat-back.
I was thinking of a magnaflow/xforce catback system, but their mandrel bent. Would it be any different to press-bent on an EK1. I like the xforce s12 twinloop muffler, has a great sound, but id like if it would sound a lil louder. Is their any muffler tips that sound similar to the s12 and maybe louder? not to loud though.
