nice exhaust...do they mass produce an IC pipe kit?
I suppose there's a compromise with both. I suspect section welds would theoretically disrupt flow ever so slightly. This exhaust has a certain wow factor with mad jdm flair that everyone ogles over. I'm one of those people that thinks it's bad-*** because of what it is and because of it being on a pedestal of baller-status.

But I also firmly believe that if some talented EvoM member up late one night in his mom's moonshine shack from the backwoods of Kentucky constructed an exhaust that looked similar to this out of stainless steel with some clean-*** section welds, a majority of the people in this thread would laugh at him … even if it was the only one on US soil.

Form and function go hand in hand. Remember that the reply to the all-too-common customer who states, “I’ll just get the cheap product.” is simply “Then that’s what your car will be, cheap".

If you have a nice car, you should be using quality products that perform.

it's relative. being more expensive doesnt necessarily mean you're getting better parts. like choosing the z06 over the viper, some pay more not for more performance but for the aesthetic appeal or exclusivity.

I'm guessing that when you run a $3K catback you have the stroke get some rims
