Kraftwerk's fits: What exhaust?

Im currently running megan header/dp/mid pipe with a tanabe medalion touring. I feel like the megan cat detele/header is not making decent power. What do you guys think? what are you running?

Im thinking about getting a t1r cat delete OR a weapon r race header.

i heard somewhere that t1r, j's, or mugen are the best because they have bigger piping

Jet Hot Coated J's Racing Header, Jet Hot Coated Megan Test Pipe, Fujitsubo Power Getter Cat-Back exhaust....amazingly "QUIET" for an N1 Style muffler with cat delete.

Anyone want to buy a J's Racing B-Pipe and/or Apexi' WSII axle back? Local pick up only NY tri state area please.

are you high boost? It is the tanabe that is restricting the power.... NOT the megan header/cat delete/b pipe. The reason is because the Megan stuff is a bigger diameter than the Tanabe. I ran into the same issue with my RSR axleback bolted up to the megan stuff. I put the megan axle back back on and problem solved.

How could it be the tanabe if the piping is the same size as the megan bpipe and its straight thru.





No way that its the tanabe..

no, a proper 4-2-1 is going to make better power and better response.

Ok guys since most of you have the information already, I just want to get things straight. I plan on getting the Hi Boost KW S/C kit here shortly. And I would appreciate your input, on choice products.

For header:
T1R (good mid range, and ok price), J's Racing (#1 chioce but EXPENSIVE), Weapon R (great design but worried about it being loud)

Exhaust:
Skunk 2 60mm (good product but hear it can be loud), PRM 60mm (1st choice, but having trouble finding one)

I know alot of this has been covered before, but I want to nail down a set-up before spending my cash. Any input or other products and why would be appreciated.

I had the same setup as well... Anywho I do have the prototype Megan stuff so maybe it is different for me? But the megan piping was definitely bigger than my Tanabe piping.
