ok shut up u guys are mad mean that it hurts my feelings! GOSH! haha Thanks for being so helpful -_-

But I did do some reasearch on my own...The Greddy Evo exhaust gives like 5 - 6 horse power? And the TRD one just for the noise and the look only gain about 1 or 2 horse power? This crap is confusing

If you want power, don't buy an axle back. Get a full exhaust from CreativeCompacts, ZPI or Draxas. Each one starts at the S-pipe and goes back. CreativeCompacts and ZPI also have a replacement S-pipe that'll get you more power as well.

I'm willing to bet that those gains wouldn't be where you want them(RPM wise)..horsepower is a by-product of torque, and running an exhaust with minimal bends and back-pressure wouldn't yield the kind of results anyone wants. Yes, you want a free flowing exhaust, but with a, seemingly, total lack of restriction, it wouldn't give the gains you want. I know that dragsters and whatnot run open headers(if you can even call them that), but those engines are built differently and are huge in terms of displacement. yeah, I'm j/rambling. I know you were joking, but some people on here have no clue about anything.

sounds quicker, as in the RPMs go up faster?
