you tend to lose power in the low end with TD exhausts.

True. But some exhaust systems like Stillen & Fast Intentions have been proven many times over to not lose any power in the low end, unlike many other true duals.

Im guessing it also depends on the design on the true dual.

No. No such thing.

1/2 & 5/16 will not give you any low end power. They tend to gain mid-end to high-end power

i agree, the pipes look like they are pointing sideways, get them straight, bent like that makes them look like what a honda civic would do

Sound sweet as heck. It is always good to get a custom exhaust because you are the only one will have this exhaust.

I like the angled tips I just think the tips you used are too big. Looks like they
might melt the lower part of the rear bumper. I love the sound, it kind of sounds similar to the topspeed exhaust clips I've heard.

the trend in sideways mufflers is one that has been around for 5 or so years. Supra's, GT-R's, Evo's, and STI's all have aftermarket exhaust liked this (it's done to decrease bends). What exhaust do you have? Most of the exhausts available for this car have mufflers that are mounted at an angle but also have tips that make them look like they come out straight. Check out the AAM 3" exhaust as well. It's designed exactly like this guy's system. You're definitely way off here.

But is it the same as financing a 1/2'' spacer for 60months @ 20% interest?
