Poll: Helix TBE or RnR TBE

I am currently at a little dilemma. I am wondering which exhaust to get. I like the RnR 3" TBE with the HKS Carbon Ti muffler. But, I dont know what the power gains are like. I read a bunch of posts and people seem to be happy with the system. I dont think that their exhaust rattles, and the DP fits well with no spacers. But, I just dont know what kind of power gains to expect.

Now the Helix, I know is good for power. But, I heard some issues about the exhaust rattling bad, the DP having a tough time to fit, and rattling, and the exhaust melting the bumper. But, I know it puts down good numbers.

So, I just wanted to see what people think. And just to save time, I know the Buschur exhaust makes excellent power. But, I just dont like the look of it. As you might be able to tell, I do care about having a decent looking exhaust. But the is just my preference.

Oh yeah, if you wouldnt mind, please state your reason why you would choose one or the other.

Thanks,
Nathan

Can i get a Buschur with the HKS Carbon Ti muffler on it? If not, then I dont want the buschur. I happen to like a nice looking exhaust on my car, there is nothing wrong with that.

Thanks,
Nathan

Ive had my helix exhaust for almost a year now and I dont have any of those problems. The only complaint that someone could have is that it is on the loud side. I realy love how it sounds, but I could see how it can be a problem for some.

heres a sound clip of mine: right click save as

Thanks for all the replies gang. Keep them coming.
What I dont know is, does the RnR TBE throw a CEL or does it come with a fix? I guess I can always buy the O2 sim and be done with it too.

Thanks again,
Nathan
