Which of the exhausts are emissions/CARB legal? Dinan seems to be the only one with info...albeit one state short of a 50 state emissions legal exhaust...probably my state, California. Damn.
Anyway, could ABT or someone add which are road and which are race use only? Not that you guys haven't put together an INCREDIBLY informative thread yet...

Remus is INNNNN!
I take it back......LOUDER THAN STOCK! (Can anyone give me a hint as to how to post a sound clip?) Butt dyno says that I have more HP, that the response is much smoother, and low end torque is increased.I'll post pics of the VERY cool pipes soon, they are quite different than what I had been led to believe,sorta like LARGE version of OEM ( with all the small perforations that Remus seems to use in most of their systems.) Initial response to this system is a rousing

I want to change my exhaust but want to comply with the law – What systems are legal?
Is it only the cat backs?
Or one ball?

But it you're really worried, get only 50-state approved stuff, or keep the stock parts to bolt back on, or just live with the law.
I'm not too worried, and I know that some of the mods make the car more efficient too.

If I port my head, add a header and the like, I still think I won't get one. I could cut out the battery box, go with a 2.5" straight pipe to a flowmaster or the like. I think that would still be less expensive than an aftermarket system, and it would flow better than them all.

Megan Racing ????
Has anyone seen and heard this catback system from Megan Racing?
www.meganracing.com/products/product_detail.asp?prodid=312
The system looks great and is priced below most others.

With the rear seats folded down or the windows open, I can hear a slight "popping" or "burble" from the exhaust when lifting off the throttle. This I never noticed with the stock. Oh, and by the way...the Borla mufflers are better hidden above the rear body work than stock, and the pipe tips look great and do not change color. The system "grows" when hot, so the tips stick out about 1/2" more until that long straight segment of stainless cools down.
I am looking for a less restrictive exhaust than the stock and with a suttle but not noicy sound.
As much as I like the Milltek I am concerned that it is a little too noicy for around town driving.
Are you still happy with your Borla? Can the tips be adhusted so they do not stick out too far.?
Thanks,
danish

Removing a resonator would reduce weight and may lead to a louder exhaust note. There could be less restriction to flow but that would depend on the rest of the muffler design. What will you do if you found you have lost power?
Since the JCW exhaust is part of the JCW kit most owners would want to keep it intact (more value) along with their warranty.
