Lambo doors are played out. Also cause issues.

What do you consider performance?

Before buying an exhaust expecting a 10+HP gain, I suggest going for handling mods. Get some sways, a short throw shifter, maybe springs or shocks.. The only major HP increase comes from forced induction(turbo, s/c, nos).

**EDIT: Exhaust sounds hella sexy though.

Handling upgrade, search "Sway Bars". They reduce body roll.

you are so wrong. turbo xs + mazdaspeed/AEM intake = ~ 15whp.

Yeah, but I don't consider those Exhaust/Intake, I consider those Hax/zorz.
