No exhaust ever has LOST power (on this car, so far anyway)
However I can say if you plan on turbocharging your vehicle this would be a good exhaust as its 2.75 not 2.5 so it'll flow a little better.

Once I'm turbocharged I'll probably have a custom 2.75 or 3in overpipe made and buy this exhaust and sell my current setup (Borla UEL, Agency Power over/test pipe, Q300 cat-back)

If you guys have this exhaust and have a video of it, please let us know and we can put it on our site.

Glad to see an official vendor repping this brand. Can you tell us more about the company and the products? Any weight's on these? A little data will go a long way at peaking interest on this forum.

The front pipe doesn't have the mounting hook so it is not supported very well. Just a fyi.

turbo_jimbo · 01-18-2013, 10:10 PM

I have this exhaust. Front pipe back. Sounds deep, and not much droning. It does have the hanger on the front pipe. The right side muffler doesnt sit right without bending the hangers for it.

Can you post a picture of how it looks from the back and at an angle? Also, is the droning very noticeable? At rpm do you notice droning?

My phone went missing last night, but I'll see what I can do. Also, it came with an assortment of hardware and gaskets that force you to go to the parts store. Just count your gaskets before you begin or you'll be borrowing a car.

I just purchased the catback and will provide some feedback in a few weeks. I didn't want to jump on the front pipe too quick since it is uncatted. This will give me the opportunity to see how loud it is with the stock front pipe. Exactly what did you have to get at the autoparts store? Just a gasket?

turbo_jimbo · 01-23-2013, 06:15 PM

Yeah, 2 of them. I didnt put the front pipe on at first an needed new bolts to hold the front pipe to back pipe together. Just put the front pipe on now it is NO louder without it.

You have done what i will likely be doing. I am quite interested in your thoughts regarding any difference the front pipe makes in both sound quality and performance. Have you noticed any performance improvement with only the catback? Any difference now that you have the front pipe installed? Sorry for the 20 questions...

turbo_jimbo · 01-23-2013, 06:55 PM

Just louder and less weight. Otherwise no different than stock. From the seat of my pants anyway. I doubt any exhaust would be much different.

We want pics and a video! someone who has this exhaust please post something that's "visual" lol
