The "ugh" is for a couple of things. First is this has been discussed over and over and over. There have been many threads about this if you would just do a little of research. The second is that a cat-back system doesn't add any horsepower. It will change the sound of the car and thats about it.
When I was new here, I read for a month before I even had a login. It was almost an other month before I had my first post.

Cute way to play it off. Understand you want to learn stuff, but honestly. All the information is out there. Infact, there is an HKS exhaust thread right below yours. Dont think its just us, go to almost any forum and you'll face this kind of beating. Take it well, learn & keep coming back.

Enjoy the 8.

From the clips I've heard and pictures seen, I like the Greddy SP2 and the Tanabe Super Medallion Hyper Exhaust best. Haven't read too many pro/con stories on the Tanabe here yet though.

well racing beat isnt very loud at all, but it does add a nice deep tone to it. you can always add the RP supercat to increase the sound a bit. thats the setup i have right now and i love the sound. still not loud enough for me though, so im moving to a catless midpipe now...
