Default which exhaust is the best

i wana know wat tc catback exhaust is the best there is many borla, injen SES, greddy evo2 and sp2, dc sport single canister, and HKS. I havent seen any dyno on the greddy but most of the others are adding around 8-12 hp/tq. I wana know which one is the best like all round, like power increase and noise.

thnx

i believe all the exhausts mentioned above are only axle-back. magnaflows cat-back is expected around summer time.

some of the exhausts don't look like they fit well compared to others, maybe user error, however, the HKS is pretty affordable, but I like the DC sports based on looks and sounds, but I'm not paying almost 500 for an axle back, even though catback won't be all that great unless it has the S pipe and a high flow cat. It may be worth the wait.

Guys... you all really need to learn to use the search feature... these is like 15 posts a day on Exhaust kits....


First of all... NO ONE is getting 9-12 HP from an Axle back exhaust... JUST NOT POSSIBLE. I don't car if it has HKS, Greddy, Injen or NOS stamped on the side, its NOT going to produce that amount of power. If you want power, has I have said over and over again, you will need to do a full kit. Replace EVERYTHING. Your stock piping is so restrictive right off the header it is unreal.

Your best options are as follows:

Header - You choose, thats another 15 post debate on which is best
S-pipe - If you want any power, you gotta replace this... THIS IS The most restrictive part of piping on the vehicle
Exhaust - A complete exhaust kit offered by CreativeCompacts.Com and one other company is the only kit that bolts up DIRECTLY to the S-pipe and replaces all the stock restrictiveness. We are talking the piping, stock Cat, Stock resonator, and stock muffler are ALL replaced. Only these 2 kits offered will give you the power you are looking for. DYNO Proven to give 12hp and 9 ft/lbs of Torque.

In conclusion, DO NOT BUY an Axle Back because of the name on the muffler. Its still going to do NOTHING but sound.

Yeah James, I just listened to the video of your full stainless exhaust and that thing is awesome. Best sounding exhaust I've heard on the tC. Curious as to what it would sound like with a header and intake. Great work!

Intake it will sound fine... Headers right now are causing raspyness in ALL exhaust kits and we all hope the S-Pipe will help resolve this but I have not been able to test it just yet with our exhaust

DC Is only an axle back correct?

We have no pricing on the S-pipe just yet, should be under $150
