i know a guy(who was trying to selling his car to me) who had his skunk2 exhaust fall off due to a broken hanger.

the funny thing is, skunk2 uses his car to fab' the prototype, when he called back, skunk2 just sent him another mufflers.

it's way too loud to be streetable, i wouldn't even want to track the car with that noise

Hmmm. I've always heard good things about the sound of the Skunk2 system. Nice and deep. I personally have not heard it though.

skunk2 is supposed to be a rebadged invidia, which it has its own deep sound--LOUD. But its a wonderful loud.

invidia=skunk2=very LOUD. To loud for my taste. I wanted to blow my brains out when I rode in my buddies car lol. I heard espelir is suppose to be in between HKS and invidia. Espelir sounded good to me when I checked it out on one of the sponser threads. [URL=http://s64.photobucket.com/albums/h190/will_eauto/?action=view

espelir sounds really good, not to loud but it looks like shit imo.. I looks okay if you have a full kit or something but stears away from the clean look. Good luck in your pick..post pics when done.

I actually want an exhaust with big mufflers like the Apexi WS or Tanabe Hyper. Preferably Fujitsubo. I just have a really good deal on a Espelir exhaust offered to me by another member. Still thinking about it though.
