thank you. Honestly now I can say yes. After taking off the version 1 for a week it felt a lot weaker. Having my version 2 on again it feels so good again. The Injen short ram also helps out a lot! If you got any questions let me know...

I love my Strup 2.0. I noticed a little bit of HP gains. Honestly though, "feeling" 5 HP is basically all in your head. I do like how the 2.0 doesnt hang as low.

im loving the strup exhaust guys.but im thinking now about getting the magnaflow catback. tell me if im crazy, but i want the whole cat back magnaflow exhaust but i want the precision gen 2 muffler tilted. i bet it would roarr!imagine a catback gen 2 precision exhaust!i know it can be done. i just dont like the muffler part or the magnaflow catback.

but instead of that ugly @$$ muffler canster... it would be the huge tilted precision muffler gen 2 end.

man im good!

HUH?! the guy was referring to the Magnaflow cat back which I said wasnt worth it. The strup is a axle back is well worth the money!

I will honestly say that this is a judgment call for you, because they are both great products. I am not going to say that there is a HP difference, because there isn't. Both are great systems and as much as I want your business, I also want you to be happy with what you get.

The Precisionmuffler.com axle back Gen 2 is a great piece of work with a month of Reasearch and Development into the piece to make sure that there is no hitting of the bumper and that it is a perfect bolt on piece. We also had to research the fact that the auto tranasmission scion cannot support the gen2 because of in cabin noise and the fact that you cannot hear anything at freeways speeds with the automatics higher RPMs.

The PrecisionMuffler.com Gen2 Axle back is designed to go quiet at 65mph so you can talk to anyone in the car without having any problems with noise levels. The japanese look complements any vehicle wanting to show off that JDM look and has a wonderful Stainless Steel tip to shine forever.

You can purchase it here :D :

i have to say now that ur gen 2 muffler and the magnaflow catback have the same HP i think ill be going w/ the gen 2. i htought that the catback , like any other catback, would add more HP than a regular axle back. now that i know this i would most definetly consider purchasing your product over the magnaflows catback. always been a fan of the tilted look.
