Exhaust Upgrade
From what i've researched and learned, HKS has the best TBE system available. The downpipe gives added torque over any other system and the hi-power exhaust performs just as good as anyone....$515 for it at lancershop.com. 675 for the 30th anniversary version. But, HKS is the best, most proven Evo company there is, so i trust them the most. Plus, if you look up the specs on everything, their systems out perform everyone elses.

There is way too much finger pointing on this board. Your times suck, your numbers suck, your rims are too big/small, your tuner sucks, etc., etc., ad nauseum

You are uncomfortable with paying 500 bucks for a cat-back...that's your perogative. Everyone wants different things. I personally think it's ludicrous to put a $5000 paint job on a Caprice Classic, but I've seen it done. To each their own.

I don't want a noob to see a vendor tout their "very inexpensive" exhaust, when it's no better than one that costs MUCH less. That's all...just lookin' out for the rest of EvoM.
Dude Warrtalon...you're frick'in sweet! You make me smile. Lol. no, but you really a cool cat
Here's two simple questions and one slightly tricky one.
1. Will I loose much acceleration off the line (i.e.bottom end responce) by installing a TB exhaust over my stock one?
2.If a person were to install a TB exhaust, wouild they need to re-flash thier car?
3. Which exhaust has the most noticable performance gains without being much louder than the stock, for the best price and fits well?
Please, actual experiance or firsthand knowledge only, no "I heard about it"
