Unless you're a weekend racer and don't care about performance on the street, I just don't get the point of these silencers. From everything I've read, they rob the car of some pretty serious power. Why would you get an exhaust with mad flow and bone-rattling volume and then put in a silencer which robs it of both, when you could have an exhaust like the PE or Racing Beat which flows pretty well and is actually livable without any power-robbing silencers?

GT Spec....IMO its not that loud, maybe at WOT, but it comes with an optional silencer. I have it on my R1, and love it.

JDS.....I don't use the silencer because of the reasons you state. I just through in the fact that there is one available.

Some of us, including myself, NEED the silencer to keep the turbos in check. With my setup, even with my boost controller, without my silencer I cannot manage my boost AT ALL. Therefore it is necessary for some of us.

No kidding...I hadn't thought of that. So you get spiking, or creep, or both? With the silencers in do you still get rapid enough spool-up?

I get mad spikes. I can set my boost controller at 2psi and with my silencer out hit 15+ psi. Kind of scary, but the silencer is what keeps me safe from spikes. Very useful in my instance.

Interesting...the EVC doesn't allow you to keep a boost limit (forget about spikes for a sec) lower than 7 psi or so does it? Most of the controllers can't keep it below the wastegate spring pressure, but maybe HKS did something different. At any rate, does it have any sort of attack adjustment, or do you just set your max boost and that's it? SCC did an article a while back on boost controllers and which ones helped with spiking, etc...but I don't remember how they rated the HKS, or even if they rated it at all.
