I've got Nitto 555 G2's. I kind of figured that though, But an exhaust could add a little bit of power.

no it couldnt. Thats just an old Fast n Furious / Inital D / Need for Speed / Grand Tourismo / Forza Motorsport / Tokyo Extreme Racing Myth. Exhaust wont add power. Just noise and appearance depending on what you get.


Look into the following tires for some decent grip with driveability in rain. (no snow).

I plan to get the bridgestone RE-71Rs next time I need tires. Currently on Direzza ZIIs.

No, will just be annoying loud. Honestly on a LNF best gain is a down pipe and you got that. Catback will just give you a different tone. Trust us guys on here, we've dealing with cobalts for years

Is there as much of a scavenging effect on turbo cars?

It's something like 5 HP gain for a full exhaust. Hardly worth spending $500 to get there.

The sedan I got was straight piped. I sounded pretty good when you would let go of the gas, but crusing was a pain in the butt it was super loud (after driving 16hrs I knew it wasn't going to last)

This, on a stock turbo you're looking at 2-5hp max. With a larger turbo thats different now
