I dont believe you will lose at all on the low-end. But for some reason the 4th genners are all over the stock 5th gen and some have reported about a 6hp increase. Which I cant seem to figure out.

ebay, $68. search for "DTM exhaust". just make sure it's a 2.5" inlet and you'll be fine. you can even search for "acura" or "accord" or "civic"... as long as the inlet size is correct. i was thinking of getting this one:


but these DTM ones really are saved for BMWs... oh well. ::shrug::

Built the Ultimate Exhaust for ToyLet a few days ago.

Flowmaster muffler dual 3.5" custom oval rolled tips.

Fit below the bumper must be seen to be appreciated.

Playero, and alot of the folks from the HID meet in NYC got to see the exhaust first hand. The sound is like a VR6, deep, no rasp at all.

I have no resonator, but I do have a flange that I can disconnect my factory muffler, and install dual 4" resonated tips for track use only. I made one Mustang sound like a mouse squeak @ WOT.


-Peace
