Thumbs up Power extreme

Yo guys............

I about to purchase a new exhaust and sell my PFS catback. Seems how I think all of your opinion's matter, I ask you: whats the best overall exhaust system. I was thinking about the Power Extreme from Greddy.

thank a million, Matt

I have heard nothing but good things about this cat-back. It is loud but everyone I know is happy with it.

people still use the Power extreme? From what I've heard it's very nice and sounds very good...has a 3.5 inch piping I believe. The only thing i don't like about it is the canister look of the exhaust and the huge tip.

The Greddy PE does sound good. But Get the JIC...it sounds WAY better!

Nothing flows like the apexi n1 dual. As for sound, some like, some don't. I think its all in your state of tune. Mine sounds good and have gotten plenty of compliments. Plus its nice to know I couldn't be flowing better.

The GReddy PE is nice, however, with all canister style exhaust.... if you lower the car, be careful of the canister scraping on speed bumps, driveway lips, etc...

A lot of people like them, personally, I'm not a fan of Apexi exhausts.

If I had it over to do again, I would get something like the Blitz, HKS Hiper, or Rotary Performance exhausts..

I have that and it's great for lowered cars. Not a fan of canisters, so this one is good and the sound is awsome(sp?). I just wish the tip was an inch smaller, it helps when the car goes onto a trailor or has to be transported somewhere. Great style looks nice not rice.

I've got the Greddy PE. Sounded great with the twins & midpipe. Quiet cruising, nice and LOUD at WOT but not overwhelming inside the car.

Now that I went single the different exhaust manifold changed the tone of the Greddy PE and there is a bit of a "tin -ee" sound to it that I'm not found of.

I may try the JIC, the thing can't weight more than 3 lbs and it IS beautiful! My second choice would be to try the Greddy SP. Jason has this on his T78 single, the exhaust is a lower pitch and there is no "tin -ee" sound.

Here you go. It sounds ok, not my favorite though. My car is lowered and I don't have any problems with it. This is dp, mp, and the PE.

There is another FD here local to me who also has the Greddy PE but is running a midpipe. Honestly, I don't think there was really much of a difference in loudness from his midpipe and my hi-flo cat...
