Default Need some opinions from people!!

I am definatly getting an amuse exhaust but I can decide which one to get..

I was thinking the R1000 (Single outlet) cause I can use it with a Supercharger and its a header back exhaust with no cat... Should get a 10+ Hp increase plus its lightweight and titanium..

However.. I also plan on doing a veilside kit.. and we all know you need a dual outlet to complete the look of the Veilside rear... So I began to think about the R1 Ti Extra.. Dual, titanium, 4+ Hp increase also lightweight...

Here's my quandry...

R1000 = 2.75" piping, is already a straight pipe, and would work great with a supercharger... Plus it has unmatched HP gains... -- The problem is that it wont look right on a veilside kit..

R1 Ti Extra = 2.5" piping, dual outlet looks awsome.. would be great with the veilside!! Wouldn't be as ideal as 2.75" piping for the a supercharger, plus it doesn't have as much HP gain.

1) How much horsepower do you think I can gain from adding a test pipe to the R1 Ti Extra??

2) Do you think the R1000 will look fine with the Veilside kit??

3) Do you think that 2.5" piping is to small for SC, or just right??


HELP PLEASE... SO CONFUSED

I think you are overestimating the importance of a wider diameter on a Supercharged vehicle. It is important on Turbocharged vehicles but on a supercharged car it isn't a necessity. Turbos work on exhaust gases.

Since you're going all out and putting on a VS kit, consider modifying the bumper. I'm staring at the bumper sitting on my couch here in the office...you could plug up the driver-side outlet, maybe modify the kit a little more than that on the driver-side to keep the lines flowing. Compared to the kit itself and the work necessary, this extra work would be minimal cost....a few hundred extra, maybe. I'm looking at ways to slightly alter mine to prevent the total stock VS look.

I don't think the HP difference is very much and certianly not noticeable by the butt-dyno.
Go with dual.

I don't think you get any more power from the butt-dyno....but a real one probably shows 5-7 at the crank? 2-3 at the wheels???

Just some guesses, stuff I kinda recall hearing during conversations about test pipes.
