some of them are 3 inch in general, but they taper at the front.

either on the connecting pipe or on the midpipe.

so they are not truely 3 inch.

They are huge i agree. I dont even think theyd fit alot of bodykits, especially the r magic widebody rear. But they do sound pretty awesome.

I looked at a lot ( a lot ) of specs for non-titanum exhausts.

For weight, sound, price = Greddy exhaust.

It can be a good exhaust for both NA and FI cars.

That's what I have, but I don't have a bodykit. Melting bodywork is not a problem.

I have the 3" Agency Power with 4" titanium tips, its the biggest bang for the Buck. The 4 inch tips didn't fit exactly in the stock rear body kit, we had to cut a small V shape out of the underneath piece, under the tips. You can't even see what we cut out because its all covered by the tips. We didn't cut it completeley out where you would have a seperation underneath the tip, we just cut the area farthest from the back of the car.

$750 with catless mid pipe. You can't beat that. And I think the Greddy is only 2.43" not 3".

the Agency Power, and the Exoticspeed are basically the same exhaust, I think you can find the exoticspeed a little cheaper tho. I recommend it, here is a sound sample from youtube

Isn't the Exotic speed exhaust just a cat-back? I can't even find it for sale any where except ebay...

The Agency Power is full 3" with cat-less mid pipe for $750. It does taper off to the size of the exhaust manifold at the end don't they all though? In this picture it shows just one resonator but it actually has two.

you can probably lowball justin and show him the ebay prices and he will match them, but with paying for shipping it probably works out to be the same. there is another exoticspeed coming out very soon, that is much quieter, and uses one large muffler in the back.

Sorry, I speak crudely by nature, but what I mean is that, Justin, who is actually becoming a friend of mine, WILL try and BEAT all prices. He told me himself that when it comes to an EXOTICSPEED product, he really has confidence and will try his hardest to get this thing to the customer.

The ebayers are just people who buy things from exoticspeed in bulk for a discount price so they can sell it cheaper and perhaps make something. But Justin will beat it. When I say lowball, I just mean to give him that chance, otherwise he will LOSE the sale. If I were him, I would be pleased about what I said and you can call him yourself and ask him about this and he will be happy that I tried to get him another chance for this sale.

So basically, instead of just looking for the cheapest or best price listed somewhere, sometimes it's not a bad idea to let someone else know about that price so that they also gain more knowledge about competitor's pricing and also have a chance to match it. I really don't think Justin would care where this person purchased it. Either from ebay or Justin, it still came from Justin anyways, so... I have thought about it from exoticspeeds perspective

But you have to admit they do sound nice.

Not a bad choice to go with Borla.
