Why did they choose the Isis again ? And, who won the top exhaust award?

They didn't really pick any winners, i have the magazine here. The Perrin un-resonated seems to be the most popular in the article. The Isis is called a "tremendous value" because it has the lowest msrp, they also said they had a slight fitment issue with it.
What is your budget and are you going to be changing the front pipe and overpipe? |

I've decided against Isis only out of principle because I want to buy an exhaust made in the USA, metals, parts, worksmanship, you get the idea. There's a thread on here . It's built in China

It doesn't matter if it is built in China. It depends on the quality control and the materials they use. Being made in USA doesn't mean it is better. Have we determined that the ISIS is indeed inferior quality?

As long as an American Product is equal to or better than ANY part manufactured in ANY part of the world then I will buy American. This isn't an attack on China. You should see what I spend on their food.
