I purchased my car from a gentlemen in chicago, he said he bought this off acurazine but never got the chance to install it. I will probably not put this on so i am looking to sell it but i cant determine what my asking price should be.

better exhaust flow so you gain some horsepower, I think it was somewhere around 10WHP. The V3 version has equal length outlets to help make a little bit more power but anything is really an improvement over the stock one.

That won't flow much better than a stock pipe; not the best merge. I'm guessing 3-5 whp. Probably worth $250-300 since better designed ones are available in the 400-450 range.

20 or 30 minutes, lol. Southerners don't understand what northern winters do to exposed hardware under the car.

ya i guess climate may be an issue in some places; mine were really rusted though also and i do have air tools but decided not to use them... just used a regular ratchet with a leverage bar... went fairly quick..

but op do relize if you do choose to install youll probably need gaskets; i bought a meatal sheet of gasket maker from NAPA auto parts and made my own but probably reccomened getting real ones from like RV6 website or somewhere else...

I thought about the idea of putting it on but honestly id rather have the money than to add another performance part to the car, i have everything i want done to it already (lowered, wheels, aspec kit, type S spoiler, hid fogs, hid interior, and intake)
