Which Exhaust ???

Hm , well im finally getting an exhaust and im in the middle of 3 brands. Either Turbo Xs , Racing beat or Agency Power.

Im leaning towards the agency power due to the titanium tips, and im aware it's really loud so I don't plan on putting the midpipe on. Plus I don't see to many people running this exhaust.

Racing Beat so i've heard compliments the rotary engine sound very nice.

Turbo Xs, honestly.... Im just getting a good deal on it.

The sounds clips really don't do much for me, and I also have the K&N v2 intake

Well what do you want? An exhaust that is really loud (Agency Power) or an exhaust that is just a tad bit louder than stock (Racing Beat). And the Turbo Xs is louder than the RB. I would take the RB out of those, but i have decided to get a Borla. Just decide what you want, loud, or not loud..

Agency Power is a good exhaust. I am using it w/ my stock cat.. Only problem is the fitment issue. Some people have had problems of burning their exhaust shrouds due to it not sitting just right. ( I had that problem ) I do love the sound though & don't have to worry about burning my shrouds anymore due to an aftermarket kit. If you don't want the midppe they supply you could probably sell it to re-coup some of the cost.

There are plenty of exhuast threads, so in the end I would search & then just go with what you want. Everyone will tell you something different, but its YOUR car..

I have the Agency Power exhaust. This past summer I removed the race pipe and reinstalled the cat. I didn't encounter any "fitment" problems between the stock cat and the AP exhaust. And like everyone said, watch out for melting bumpers, but don't be an idiot like me and forget to put the last set of grommets on (which caused it to rest on the bumper)
