that's an understatement!

 

yeah it's loud without the silencers, but it sounds good. with the silencers it's not bad at all, and there really isn't a noticeable power loss (nor is there a noticeable power gain when you install this exhaust, like ever other aftermarket exhaust for the s2k.)

i got mine used on ebay for $350 with the silencers. not a great deal, but not a bad one either.
