Talking Got my Gmpp exhaust installed ( 56k no way )

I love it, the sound definitely turns heads.



















This is the Performance exhaust that I got from the great guys over at http://www.crateenginedepot.com, It sounds Awesome and the performance boost is very noticeable.

For me, It is perfect. I love the sound, and I feel better knowing that it was designed for my car by the same people who designed my car.

Not everyone wants a loud 4 banger. If your keeping your stock downpipe , the size issue is irrelevant, it flows better than stock for sure.

Nice set-up. I've heard how the performance version sounds in person and it sounds deep and throaty, but not obnoxious. Did you order a custom tip for the end or just use your stock one?

It's the angle cut tip, I am planning on replacing the stock downpipe, but not untile I put the Gmpp manifold on. I was thinking of getting the Random Technoliges 2.5 in DP from crate engine depot. The sound of this exhaust is just right for me, deep and not ricie. I have def noticed a performance boost, but it sounds weird at say 7-7200 rpms. I think I just need to get used to it. I also have Meth injection in the works, it is cheaped than NOS and I feel it is safer for my motor.

I payed 350 for mine before prices jumped, I think at that time it was a great buy and it still sounds great. Not sure about paying 500+ for it tho. Might as well get a custom one made then.

No resonator on a 4 cylinder is FTL.

I'm thinking Gmpp manifold, with a 2.5 Dp and high-flow cat. As of now my car is still under warrenty ( for another 25K miles ) and I am trying to keep it. Some stuff I can take off if my car needs service ie stage 3 computer. A custom exhaust and header would be a little more difficult to exchange. Anyways I am very happy with the quality of the Gmpp parts I have gotten so far.

To each his own I guess. Neither opinion is right or wrong.
