I will definitely be a Borla. My Setup with RP Supercat and AEM. The deep sound which is i like and 100% sure i'm getting some ponies on this setup. Greddy SP2 Exhaust should be in that list too. By the way i have an AT.

My roommate has a 350Z and after he put the Greddy SP2 on it, it sounds even quieter than stock, i dont know why(probably i forgot how loud the stock 350 sounds like)......but for sure, my car with racing beat is louder than the 350Z with Greddy SP2.....
and i dont really like the muffler tips on SP2. too big for me.

Yes, the tips are too large, but it's one of the lightest stainless steel catbacks out there. I live on a golf course on a lake so being quiet isn't a bad thing for me! Keeps my neighbors from staring every time I roll out of the garage....

Any takers, I think that that would look awsome and have a really rich sound with better flow??? I thought someone made one before? Who was it?
The company you are refering to is Helix, and unfortunately, NOBODY makes an exhaust like them.

Yep, leave the stock one in. Doesn't sound any different than stock, 20lbs lighter, and unrestricted flow

Yep. Left the stock resonator in. I honestly still cannot tell the difference from stock.

I had the RP HF cat midpipe and Borla catback. It was pretty raspy so I had a small reso welded into the midpipe. At one point I had the OBX headers on too, but the little channel that passes hot air through to 'preheat' the cat was too narrow and would clog up with carbon buildup, throwing a CEL. So I eventually put the stock exhaust manifold on and can't tell any difference in sound or performance.

putting aftermarket headers on this car is pretty much a waste of money. Unless someone comes up with a far superior design that eliminated backpressure.

If the corksport is lighter than the JIC I would be absolutely amazed.

Got pulled over yesterday for having an aftermarket exhaust (which apparently is illegal in california). Had my receipt for my mazdaspeed exhaust in a folder in my trunk... showed it to the officer and he mumbled something as he tore up the ticket.
