Big Greddy package at my front door...

Big thanks to tpp for getting my Greddy EVO2 catback to me on time. Hopefully getting it installed tomorrow. Any reviews on this exhaust, I heard it is fairly quiet .

The only review is that it costs more than it's worth.

Some people don't like to put junk on their $30,000+ car. Performance isn't everything to most of us.

Ohps, sorry then. Couldn't figure it out but now makes total sense. I personally love to spend more money than something is worth. But that's just me, the way I roll.

Ignore those sarcastic "gentlemen". From what I have read it seems like a very good catback, if a bit on the expensive side. Enjoy.

PS Once you get bored, get the full TBE, u wont regret it!

what Warrtalon probably meant was...exhaust piping is hard to screw up...so going with cheaper alternatives is usually the most cost effcient way to get the same amount of power. Basically, if I got the Buchsur catback or TBE equivalent, I'll probably make the same or slightly more power...(I'm not saying Buschsur is inferior to Greddy exhaust, I'm just talking about price itself)

But then again, to every man his own. If you want to make the same power and look good doing it, Greddy can't be wrong!

Well, actually fitment on 2005+ is actually easy to screw up and get a TBE that does not fit correctly w/ the ACD and crossmembers. Buschur is inferior to GReddy BTW. Buschur sounds like *** too as the "muffler" is more of a small resonator than a muffler. For the record, AC556K was going for the Megan catback as warrtalon and I sport, but it is on 3 week backorder. I have a suspician that his wife wanted a more mellow and quiet ride at cruising speed than the Megan system could provide anyhow so they should be pleased. Oh, btw it is TTP.-Engineering or TTP and not TPP.

the Buchsur exhuast is literally a pipe and a resonator for a muffler...does flow well though...

but whatever, I expressed my point.

Everybody has different preferences. I personally was going to buy the Evo2, but I heard that the resonator is necked down, so someone on these boards actually welded a 3" resonator. Some people want the most power out of an exhaust without regards to looks. There are some exhausts out there that look like a muffler shop put it together, but they perform the best. Then there are some that may not perform as well, but they are show quality exhausts. Then again all 3" exhausts give the same performance give or take a few hp. I mean come on, it's metal piping. As long as it's mandrel bent and has straight through muffler.
I personally bought the AVO. Many would argue that I spent too much. But you know what? I would put this up against any exhaust and tell you why I chose it. True it may not flow like a Buschur, etc. But it is 3", mandrel bent, fully polished, and looks the most stock provided the muffler is painted black. Not to mention it fits great, it doesn't appear as if the muffler and pipe are hanging from the car. True there is the RSR, but it has a double walled tip.
