Exhaust System?

I'm trying to decide which Exhaust system to go with. I could either buy the AMS Custom Stainless steel 3" catback for 675.00 or get another aftermarket one. What do you guys recommend for the evo 8?

This question has been asked to death. It's all a matter of preference. I have the Buschur 3" turbo back and I love it. Sounds great. Some say it's cheap looking and it sux. If you want bling get the phat canisters from JIC or HKS. I wanted a lower profile look.

I Just got a SS mandrel bent 3" cat back from http://www.vrsexhaust.com/ for $480 plus shipping... It looks very nice, sounds great (no mush louder than stock if even that loud). My SOP dyno says it makes more power too

Hey Shahul, your tip looks crooked like mine did (look at the picture).... I could not stand it and had it adjusted.... Maybe you can contact UR and see if they'll pay you to get it corrected? Miguel from VRS will always make sure that the customer is satisfied....He ask me to take it to a shop and offered to pay for the adjustment.....

Shahul - What is the difference in sound from the stock exhaust to the UR?

If you want to go all the way RMR or HKS down pipe Ultimate racing mid-pipe or offroad pipe (they have a cool cell fix) JIC full titanium catback. The JIC unit does not have the bung for the O2 sensor but the UT mid pipe does. This would give you max weight savings and performance but just be ready to pry the pocket book open for this set up.
