Exhaust Help

So i got an old pay check from a company i no longer work for in the mail today. The paid me for the time they walked me when i gave them 2 weeks. The check is valid so that means I have extra cash.

I am going to buy exhaust in the next couple of weeks as i finalize my choices. It is down to Racing Beat, Greddy, or HKS but could expand or shrink.

Got any advice. All should be a normal install nothing special about them, right?


Greddy made the list because of Dazy.

:D Gotta love the powers of the Greddy. :D

I don't know of any other exhausts in the area but Greddy, but there should be PLENTY to hear at the BBQ if you are willing to wait that long.

I got the B&B on mine and I love it...powerful sound under acceleration, but quiets down on the highway.

Go with Greddy, I think Martin can get a real good price for you.

Both Slim and I have the new GREDDY. Although I haven't heard it yet, it looks nice. I'll let u know how much I like it soon.

mine is actually Greddy with RP's SuperDuperCat (i just added the "duper" part because im bored)...

But anyways, i would suggest waiting for the BBQ so you can hear every type. I personally would like to hear the Racing Beat one myself.

the hks is over priced. the greddy you can't go wrong with. and the racing beat has never let anyone down. you're not really gonna get much HP wise from any of them. i would go with the cheapest exhuast and get yourself a midpipe with the money you save. you can pick up a mid pipe anywhere from $100(used) to about $300.

i used to have the greddy catback with the B&B straight pipe. i liked the sound of it but i also welded in a silencer to get rid of the raspy-ness. i could also should huge ***** of fire out my *** end, with that midpipe!!! everyone seemed to like it and i could feel a small gain with that combo. as for the sound...ask the other DFW peeps that heard it. not sure if they liked it or not.

thats my input......

just got my RB exhaust put on today...couldn't have made a better choice. i was gonna go with GReddy at first. but when i got a better look at it in person, the tips weren't appealing to me.

the greddy tips bug me because they are oval and they have a lip at the end. I love racing beat stuff, i have their intake, and CAI. but was trying to branch out.

i've got the hks legamax installed and love it. Yes it is one of the more expensive kits out there but the quality of the kit is way up there. (Not saying others exhausts have poor quality).Here are some vids of it:
