It probably is just like most of the other exhausts for the 8... Doesn't add any power really.

The one you want is what sounds best to you... Unfortunately you really never get to hear them before you buy... LoLLers.

Sure thing! If I don't like it, I'll just get something else.

I'll also be running it with the RP-supercat so it may be loud. If so, I'll go to the local muffler shop and have them install a resonator to quiet it down some.
