It was expensive but I have always been a firm beleaver in you get what you pay for. I also don't want to have to build the car multipal times, I want to build it right the first time

ya i agree with you as well. I think if money is not a limitting factor, definitly go with the reputable stuff.

its interesting how they are not using a muffler with this set up. try to get us a clip on how it sounds if u could.

Thanks, and goodluck with your build.

The vband is the type of coupler used for interconnecting the exhaust segments. The muffler is the Buschur racing bullet muffler. It is typically at the rear of the car, but because I have the jdm bumper they recommend placing the bullet muffler were the cat was

There has always been a slight jolt feeling in the car under full boost, I wasnt too worried about it. But after I installed the exhaust it was extremely apparent that the car was missing under boost. this morning I pulled the plugs out, and I found there to be a hairline crack in the porcelain on the #2 plug.
I threw some new plugs in it and its running better then ever. I also ordered a cheap O2 housing and downpipe, I figure this will extract a little more power for when I get it tuned. and I can also install my wideband gauge.
