Alright guys just a quick question. I'm planning to purchase a new exhaust after receiving my stage 1. I've looked at them all and they all sound great but which one do you think would work best with CZ's stage 1. I'm leaning towards the B&B. Woud the sound get any louder with the mod? Are there any exhausts that I should stay away from after adding stage 1 i.e (heat factor?). Finally from personal experience which exhaust is the loudest because I do take long drives and don't want to be drowned out too much.
Thanks in advance!

Take the word from Canzoomer himself. He made cursory recommendations for the Borla and Greddy and has stated he has "sensed" additional power on the Borla combined with his Stage 1 on another test car. These statements were regarding additional power. Now, if you are only into looks and sound then I have no information to offer.

Ofcourse not I'm looking for more power as well but I'm trying to figure what would be the best exhaust in this situation. Plus after this mod the only other performance mod I would do is maybe an intake. But I say this for now

Save your money on the intake and get another mod,maybe stage 2, Maurice already stated that and aftermarket intake would not add anything!

You cant really get a serious recomendation about this until people actually have units and try it out. You either have to wait a bit, or just take the plunge and hope for the best. Nobody can tell you what will work best out of 10 models with a product that hasnt arrived into peoples hands yet.

Sorry bro, simple fact.

TitaniumRX8MD

Yeah I figured as much, I'll just have to take the plunge and take a chance. Then so far it will look like a CZ stage 1 and B&B exhaust. Plus I cant really tell which of the exhausts is the loudest or softest because the sound clips are more for sound and not volume. So I'll have to go with performance. Any other opinions or insight?

Also I thought if I went to CZ stage 2 the car would then be not street legal which I do not want to do. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks again

Stage 2 is not "street legal". Technically, Stage 1 isn't either, but it shouldn't fail an emmisions test.

We may get Doc's car dyno'ed soon, to see if there are measurable benefits with the Borla system.

I think, because of your sig. you should get the titanium system. After all, it's not my money .

I don't think he said that...he said he didn't foresee significant gains from adding an intake. This is not based on testing, unless I missed a thread. Reputable companies have posted dyno gains from their intakes, but unfortunately I haven't seen any corroborating evidence (or any other kind for that matter) from owners yet, so we really don't know.

I plan on purchasing an exhaust system as well after I recieve my Stage 1 kit from maurice. I have looked into many that are available but I think I will wait until Racing Beat comes out with thiers. I have written to Racing Beat but I have not received a response to my email. I asked when the system would be available.

I too am in line for a Stage 1 and am also considering the racing beat, however, they better hurry up, because the JIC systems are looking pretty nice

TitaniumRX8MD

There are just so many great exhausts out there. I just don't know which one to pick. Truly I want an exhuast that gives great HP gains that doesn't sound too annoying. Basically a good all around exhaust.

I'm becoming more and more impatient each week, waiting for the racing beat exhaust to come out.

BORLA

Great Sound
Great Price
Great Looks
Great Warranty
Solid Engineering and Support
Power gains equal to the others

Other than going Titanium for low weight -- I doubt there will be much difference between all of these exhausts performance wise. The sound differences are subjective at best -- I have only heard my Borla and stock and the Borla sounds great. So basically it comes down to cost and warranty. Borla is low cost (~$500) and has the best warranty (million mile).

I can say good things sound-wise on the Greddy SP2. I like the big tips on it and the sound is awesome. Cant say about power as I havent had time to dyno it yet, but should get that done next weekend.

I've personally heard Genom's Greddy exhaust and it sounds quiet at idle and AWESOME when reved! The big tips fill up the exhaust outlets and look great.
