do not get unless u like really loud exhaust. well i cant really say well what car do u have that helps? and ya i have the full corksport exhaust from the header back and its really loud... almost not worth it but u'll have to see i haven't just tried it as a cat-back its loud cuz like 3in piping all the way back lol.... so ya u'll have to see i don't like it its almost not worth any hp/tq gains but might as well... you should get racing beat true-dual exhuast its expensive but very nice not loud at all just adds some throat and big hp/tq gains.

If it's a TII it'll be quieter, turbo muffles some of the sound. Probably still loud though.

Yeap, one of stussy's mirror'd logos. It's getting pretty big again, mainly with the hipsters/hypebeasts/sneakerhead trendhoppers.

Mind you, I'm sure you could probably build a "better" exhaust for less money. But to each his own.

No question about it you need exhaust. It's the 1st mod that should be done to a 7, because the stock system is quite restricted. Personally, I wouldn't go with corksport reasing being I hear its extremely loud and its only one exit. Not many cars out there have 2 exhaust exits, it makes our cars unique so keep it. Racing beat all the way man. I should have rb full rev t2 exhaust in about a month. Check buddys thread.

Also, it only cost about 350$ to have it made and installed, if you can find a shop that does a good job for that kind of price i would go that route. ( You might want to opt for some good name brand mufflers)
