i paid $399 compared to stillens $550 it sounded good i cant wait till thursday...... i am thinkin about gettin a custom B pipe to fit up to it so the pipes will be really open b/c that stock B pipe is restricted as hell.... take a look at it next time u r under ur car...... i think doing something about it will make some differences in the way that it runs and sounds ...........ill let u know if i do that or not!

So is it true that it will gain 5hp to the wheel by just replacing with HKS exhaust? Did stillen mention that?

Can someone explain to me why anyone would pay that much money for a rear section and a muffler?

I could buy a y-pipe for what some of these guys are spending for a rear section and a muffler. It's one thing to custom-fabricate a Y-pipe, but a rear section and muffler is child's play for a reputable muffler shop.

Whatever happened to the idea of roll your own?

yeah i would to but if u look at my sig u can see that i already have it so when there is nothin else to buy i guess i will pay whatever it takes to get something new...... i was goin to have RT do a custom cat back but the punks there said that it will be a long time and it doesnt look like they could get to me anytime soon if at all........i have about maxed out my mods list for stuff from stillen or major stuff for the MAX........ so i guess if i have the money and want it i can get it anyone else see a big problem with that....... i think that it is expensive to but i wanted this for a long time and it is better than 550 for stillens... he told me that they dont have a complete cat back for the 5th gens out yet so oh well!!!!!
