hi,

I am getting a new exhaust system this summer. I have a couple of questions, regarding these 2 systems:

- which is lauder?
- Will both keep the 2005 popping sound?
- how hard to install?
- how much is the JCW exhaust?
- do they really add 6-10 HP ???

I am basically looking to change the (IMO) ugly stock tips and get a bit more performance.

Thanks!

 

- They do add 6-10 hp , but you won't feel it
- JCW is quieter than stock
- JCW pops more than stock
- Install is easy

...that's all I know...

 

how is it possible that one would not notice 10 extra HP?

 

You may feel it, but that 6-10 hp will be all up there at 5500-6000rpm with your normal driving you will only hear it more than feel it.

 

I see...

So is it even worth the upgrade???

 

For me it's worth every ways you look at it.

- nicer tips
- better sound
- more power

The question is, do you want to spend $800 on exhaust now or you want to spend on some other performance upgrades.....or a trip to Jamaica?

 

If you're looking at from the seat of the pants point of view, then is any thing other than a pulley worth the upgrade?

I think it's worth it b/c I know sooner or later I'll run out of things to mod, and exhaust is on the list of "to do" anyway, so might as well do it now and enjoy the car's personality transformation now instead of later.:smile:
