Hey guyz.
Wondering if we can getta response from all people with experience.

What, in your opnion, would be the best in terms of Raw power gains, Build quality, price, and sound ?
Also state what Hi flow cat, and cat back are being used.

Wonder if we can make this a sticky ?

Are you going to enter a wanking contest? Why is a power figure that important? And if you do pick the combo that has the most output, would you get your money's worth in terms of $ per kW over another brand? I don't see the point in spending an extra 2 or 3 hundred to gain 5 kW.

Having said that, I do a Hurricane 4-1 tuned header and hi flow steel cats in 2 1/2" for $1450 shipped. All bolt on.

My car came with exhaust, its got pacemaker 1 3/4 headers, 200cpsi metal cats and xforce twin 3". If i were to go out and buy them myself, the hurricane 4 into 1s are the best value for money, with ballistic 100cpsi metal cats from sureflo exhaust and a twin 3" system from xforce or manta. This system with a good otr will get you an easy 250-260rwkw with an otr and tune. Over the standard 200rwkw (or there abouts)

Are you only considering the 3 options in your first post? If not then Sureflo and KPM are up with some of the best quality exhausts (and top performers). Also Sureflo's Ballistic cats would be my pick of anything on the market.

I have a KPM 2.5" system with high flow cats and pacemaker 4 into 1 1"3/4 pipes on my sportswagon. Very high quality system, sounds strong and does not drone at all. With a sedan you might get away with their 3" system.

redback, then difillipo.... in terms of best sound. but sound is personal preference, so you'll find everyone has different opinions on this.
to me, pacemakers are too loud/rough sounding... too much treble. I like more of a low rumble.

thanks for the input guyz

which i could find high quality MP3s of each setup etc...
would be great for marketing purposes *hint hint to shops out there hehe*
