How can an exhaust produce 22 HP when the stock production engine with muffler removed will only gain +5 HP

An update on the Racing Beat Header:

"As for the header- don't have an update yet. We're trying to make it C.A.R.B. legal- so we're working on some flange designs right now. Also we're trying to find the most cost effective way of manufacturing it so that we can sell it at a reasonable price."

get the Borla period. I got it about a week ago and I love it. I researched tons and decided that it was the one, and am glad I got what I got. It is not too loud. Actually, it is perfect. Under normal crusing, it almost sounds stock, same as at idle. When you accelerate, it sounds amazing. It sound deeper which is great. You can't go wrong with this one.

Not sure, but I know Kenstyle has a four tip exhaust as well.

Why not just put four tips on your stock exhaust?

For the record, the TurboXS Race Pipe will not fit on the OEM Exhaust.

+1 for Borla

To shoot out flames, you need a midpipe, which will work with any exhaust, but they are illegal, because they don't pass emissions.

Can't decide if i want the greddy SP2, AP ti tips, HKS Legamax, or HKS hipower.

Looking for the best performance, not too loud, street legal?

A midpipe has no catalyic converter, so it should shoot out flames, even with a stock exhaust. Try flooring it. This should make flames come out. Also, bring it up to a high rpm and leave it there, then you should see flames.

Under the right conditions, the OEM Exhaust (The entire system including its cat) can shoot flames. Mine constantly shoot flames due to my midpipe
