Hey guys i really need your help on this one! I cannot decide whether i should get the spoon or j's exhaust. here are some questions for you guys.

1. Pros and cons for each of them?
2. Weight of both in pounds
3. which one sounds better or more tuned?
4. i know the spoon is a single piece but what about the j's?
5. power gains should be equal if any right?

Oh one more thing for those of you with a j's exhaust do you have the problem of the muffler buring or discoloring the rear bumper area because it does stick out a lot.

Pleeeease send replies with your info asap i gotta decide by this weekend!

THanks again guys...

I haven't heard or seen the Spoon exhaust in person, so I can't compare aesthetics (don't try to judge by MPEG's!! It's nothing like hearing it in the real).
J's is a single piece. Workmanship and fitment is perfect. There is no problem with the muffler burning or discoloring the bumper. Without the silencer, J's is loud. Weight is about 18 lbs.

I'm sure someone will ring in with the Spoon info...

The J's tip looks way better than Spoon. Then again the Spoon unique exhaust tip is what makes it SPOON!

I think the J's is one piece while the Spoon needs two pieces bolted together. I prefer one piece construction.

The Spoon comes with cat replacement tube, which may or may not come in handy.

Spoon has a nice removable silencer as well, standard.

All out performance, nod might go to J's. Versitility, 'bang for the buck', maybe the Spoon.
