increased noise - some have the bees in the can noise (unlined flex)...overall more noise
durability - it'll never last as long as the stock unit
fit - (some cases)
pros:
more power
distinctive exhaust sound

for y pipes cheaper, just go to a local performance exhaust shop, and have one custom made, all welded, even the flex to cat point.

Id love to be a business and sell you guys stuff.

trbo, Good luck. For one thing, the custom die that we use to make the plenum (2 to 1 piece) costs us over $600. Combine that with the fact most muffler shops don't have mandrel benders, don't stock lined flex sections, and may or may not carry the proper sized nut for the 02 sensor, not counting having to custom make flanges. If you can get the same quality of y-pipe for under $225 please send an e-mail, we need to talk.

but anyway..I spoke to Dallas..and he's says that you think the JWT ECU is worth the upgrade even at the hefty price.
I also have a '93 SE and was thinking about getting it..but first wanted to get some feedback on others who have it. Does it really improve the performance of your car?
