Hey fellow Del Valley members, prices through me are $1000 for the HKS and $900 for the Neuspeed. Neuspeed claims 25lbs lighter than stock with a 7-8 hp top end gain. This should help out Charlie and Mike. PM with questions. Anthony

A couple of comments on upgrading exhausts.
I switched to 3" stainless steel piping (to mate with the 3" downpipe from the turbo) and to dual A'PEXi N1 mufflers when I had the turbo installed. Everyone has their own opinion, but I'm not sure it's worth changing the pipe diameter unless you're adding a turbo/supercharger, as you may well LOSE HP in the power band where you most need it. Moreover, 10lbs of weight savings isn't a lot (a gallon of gas weighs about as much).
If you just want to sound cool -- and, I'd be pretty skeptical about any meaningful hp gains from it -- there are lots of mufflers that will fit the stock pipes that will add deeper timber. If it's important to you, then do it. I can tell you that the A'PEXi N1s are loud. Very loud. Loud to the point of embarrassment. Were I to do them over again, I might go with a slightly more restrictive design to get a bit more sound dampening. The good news is that on WOT, the car sounds like an all-out race car. The bad news is that on WOT, the car sounds like an all-out race car.
In any case, I've sent a few photos to PAS2K and asked that he share them with the thread. I think to post pix, I need to join S2Ki, and I just haven't gotten around to sending CThree a check yet. The A'PEXi N1s do look cool, however. And, from a few thousand yards, they sound pretty good too.

I do not carry Supersprint. I do carry HKS, Neuspeed, Comptech, AEM, DC Sports, OZ, HRE, Racing Hart, BBS, GReddy, Vortech, H&R and many others. I thought i would list some of the companies I retail for since different people are asking and I thought this would answer future questions of "do you carry this." If anyone has any questions, PM me. Anthony, MV Motorsports
