exhaust compare...questions

So.. i've got the comptech catback, and i couldnt be happier.... or could i??

after seeing johnny-2ks video, i noticed his car sounds bad-ass compared to mine..... and he doesnt have CATS or CAI....


so. its pretty much a solid fact, that a custom fabbed exhaust SOUNDS better... but what about performance?? is it the same as the comptech?...

ive been thinking about switching to a custom fabbed one... but i dont want to lose power... even if it is only 3hp....


what do you people think?? which one is better?

there aren't any actual performance gains from any aftermarket exhaust system out there today considering the fact that the stock exhaust already utilizes the perfect combination of back pressure from what I hear ... so pretty much it's just the sound difference that makes any difference at all

Yooooooooo Blackura_ny

I cant PM yet b/c my account is brand new. Anyway, I got a question 4 u & my bad but it has nothing 2 do with your thread.....

I see u removed the amber in the head lights. Did u do this yourself? If so, would u do mine & I'd throw u some cash. I can't find any body shops out here 2 hook me up & I cant do it myself.

holla back at me.

peace

so the usual custom 2.5" piping+ fart can compared to the comptech wont give you the gains that comptech has?
