give us your review on the exhaust!!!
Keep in mind I've only driven with it for about 30 minutes, but here's what I have so far:

It's loud. Very loud. It drones, it's boomy, it's raspy, it has multiple personalities. It's not an exhaust that I would ever consider for a daily driver. This is the first time I've been able to set off a car alarm just by driving within 50 feet of it. When cruising at low revs and accellerating from below 5K RPMs, it's more throaty, and boomy. And loud. When running hard, especially above 6K RPMs, it's very raspy and higher pitched. And loud. It kinda sounds like "riceboy meets sport bike". The only sound that the thing makes that I actually like is the idle. It rumbles a bit, which is nice.

It makes power. I haven't had it on a dyno (and the numbers will be a bit skewed, because I didn't get a dyno after I added the Toda header), but the butt-dyno tells me I should expect to see some significant gains above 6K RPMs. Gains below 4K are probably negligible or non-existant.

So, my review would be: It does exactly what I expected it to do... make noise and make power.

looks amazing, i'm glad you're enjoying it.


btw did you ask for the muffler to have the blue gradiation or is that what they do for all newly made amuse systems? i thought they only heat up the tip, not the muffler. but either way, it looks really good the way it is.

This is the "less blue" of the two versions. They will also do it where the whole thing is blue, but I didn't ask for that.

It was relatively easy, but I had a trouble with a couple of bolts, and that dragged the installation process out. I think it took me a total of 2.5 hours, and about 1 hour of that was me banging my head trying to figure out how I was going to get those bolts off (they had been loctited on by someone that had worked on my car previously).
The exhaust is only bolted at the header. Everywhere else is just connected by rubber hangers (just like the stock system). There is a "How-To" for removing the stock system somewhere in the UTH forum. It is very helpful.

so did they charge you extra for that or is that included in the base price?
