OK...it's all stainless....it's inexpensive, and looks well made. 1 gripe though...the muffler looks a bit too small (which means really loud and not as aggressive looking). For 289 though I'd be inclined to cut off the muffler section, SELL it and weld on something else from say Tanabe or Apexi (HKS is too much $$ and also small).

I have it, and it is LOOUUDDD....and I mean LOUD. I got the $20 silencer for it (which works well) for long drives...

It easily sets off car alarms, and causes ringing in your ears on long drives (at least for me)...oh, and I even have a high flow cat.....

Looks nice though...and seems well made.

Ive got the corksport on my 89 TII, i absolutely love it. Mine seems to sound a bit deeper (not much) than the sound clip. Construction is top notch. It is loud as hell though, I highly recommend getting the silencer for long trips.

I have the thunderfabrications Downpipe/midpipe with it, so its' basically 3" all the way back, with one spot @ 2.5" for about an inch.

Yeah, it's loud Did I mention it's loud? I absolutely love the sound.

I just wish they'd make a dual exhaust version. I like it, I like the way it sounds, but my FC has two exhaust slots in the back bumper. (I don't know about all of yours.

What is the point of duals off an already collected exhaust anyhow? Looks.... ok, I can see that, but performancewise, I don't think I makes a difference

Approximate Decibel Level Examples
(taken from howstuffworks)

0 the quietest sound you can hear

30 whisper, quiet library

60 normal conversation, sewing machine, typewriter

90 lawnmower, shop tools, truck traffic, 8 hours per day is the maximum exposure (protects 90% of people)

100 chainsaw, pneumatic drill, snowmobile; 2 hours per day is the maximum exposure without protection

115 sandblasting, loud rock concert, auto horn; 15 minutes per day is the maximum exposure without protection.

140 gun muzzle blast, jet engine; Noise causes pain and even brief exposure injures unprotected ears. Maximum allowed noise with hearing protector
------

meter was set to 110, so the closer to the middle of the meter, the closer to 110.

right click save as - and see how loud a full exhaust na is

Depends. You can go from a larger diameter single pipe into two smaller diameter pipes, and then you get two mufflers which quiets things down a lot.
There's no reason for it to be more powerful - but that's not the damn point Single exhaust on an FC looks like one of your mufflers fell off.
Unless someone can sell me a rear bumper that only has one exhaust outlet.

(That said, I still am undecided between the corksport and the borla dual. Whatever.)
