I LOVE my ets exhaust. Deep all the way through the power band. I get non stop compliments when I start it up.

I was contimplating going with megan racing because its cheap and it jsut metal after all right? no, my car is slammed and the test pipe is the only paert that scrapes on really bad spots, and this is something you are going to listen to every day make sure you like it alot before you buy

If you are looking to upgrade your turbo in the future go with an aluminized steel custom exhaust. Order a 3" flange and gasket from Vibrant, a 18" glasspack from dynomax, go to a good muffler shop, use 3" pipe and go with the least amount of bends as possible since their bender will crimp the tubing the more it is bent. Once installed, remove, wipe down with alchohol, and paint with vht black. It should only set you back $200 or so, If it ends up being to loud add a resonator. The $600 bucks saved further justifies upgrading your turbo, intercooler, whatever. Plus when you sell or trade you car the exhaust can be sold or scrapped. A $800 cobb exhaust, will add no value to resale, and you will have to fool with selling it online, being lucky to pull $350 for it. Losing $200 vs. $450 is the best way to go. Remember, you are not driving a BMW or an Audi, so having a pretty exhaust shouldnt be a priority, form never comes before function, it is only an added bonus.
