Hi all,

I just discovered that the cost of replacing my exhaust system with a sports exhaust (e.g. Tanabe, Skunk2 etc.) as similar to replacing with the OEM exhaust. Therefore, I am seriously considering replacing with a sports exhaust (when the time comes to replace it, which could be 6+ years from now).

My questions are:

1) How is the durability (lifespan) of the sports exhausts in comparison to OEM?
2) Are there any drawbacks to installing a sports exhaust system? (of course, the benefits are nicer looks, nicer sound etc.)

 

Can this actually sound _that_ nice? Has anyone upgraded their exhaust without making their car sound like a fart mobile? Please link to videos so i can hear the nice ones

 

you're already planning for something that *might* happen 6yrs from now? dang...


check the exhaust forum for details, sound clips, picts, etc.

 

I'd say a quality exhaust will last, stainless steal is going to resist rust better than the stock system.

Megan Racing's exhaust, for starters...

 

Does anyone make cat-back? or axle back only?

 

Both are made, some in pieces, some as a cat-back set. Just depends on which brand you want.

 

SKunk2 makes a full catback which from the sound clips i have heard sounds real nice, got a deep growl to it. Called Megapower

 

Here's my Skunk2. It's a full cat-back. Beautiful sound.
