They're all about equal given the same 3" piping.

if someone here has a dyno graph that shows an appreciable difference (more than 5 hp) at the wheels when switching between different 3" exhausts, i would love to see it. this debate lingers but i have yet to see any appreciable difference at the wheels.

Best flow? A turn-down pipe (think about a foot long piece of pipe coming off the back of the cat with a slight hook at the end pointed dowward).

Alternately, a 3" straight pipe.

Legal- where in Albany do you live? Do you have an FD? I live in Niskayuna so you are right next door.

You already have one of the better performing and sounding exhausts. Switching isn't going to give you any more "noticeable" power. Unless you want a different looking/sounding exaust, just keep what you have.

If you have the stock cat in place you can just run a straight pipe and no muffler and it won't be overly loud. Cheap to do too!

I suggest Apexi GT coz I think it is the best exhaust in US market so far.

For me, the 4" all the way back does the trick.

Greddy Evolution. 94mm piping. I know a guy that had his car dyno'd with the greddy pe with single turbo and a lot of other crap. got something like 400rwhp. Then put on a Evo cb. Dyno proved a good 30more hp just from an exhaust change.

I thought the Greedy PE had larger piping and allowed for more power then the EVO?

I have the SP as well and everyone says its flow is great and its one of the best sounding. If I had to switch it would be the Greddy Ti.

Man do I wish I could. The car has been sitting at KDR since June!!! I've been on the phone with them constantly and hopefully the car will be back sometime next week or the week after. I'd be glad to snap a few pics once its back in my driveway though.

Greddy SP here too LOL, or as a forum friend describes it..."the grapefruit launcher". Still, IMO, I've never heard a catback that sounds better both at idle and on throttle. I'm not convinced that anything else performs significantly better but wish it had the look of the RB Dual tip.
