5/16 spacer or Coupe Mid Pipe

What would be the best choice, MD 5/16 Spacer adds power, Coupe Midpipe adds a nice sound, Something else for around the same price? who knows.

That all depends on what your goals are. My vote would be for the spacer, its a good bang for the buck! Will be more than $200 though, unless you find a used one.

I voted "something outrageously different"... based on what Tony has eluded to (which he has been working on forever) - Motordyne will have a b!tchen new exhaust coming out soon - in his words is "nothing like you've seen on the market".

Get the spacer and wait...

Well in that case, the thing is that i dont have the money now, but i am collecting change here in there and it adds up pretty quickly, (last time i had $104), i still have to finish paying off my double din, should i get the isothermal?

but if that exhaust comes out before the summer, i will definitely totally think about making a purchase, but i sitll want to get my tein flex, and stillen sways (im on stock non sport suspension).

Thanks for all your input.

I think the spacer is basic ... It corrects something that should have never been designed that way to start with. After that, think about what else you want or do not want to do.

Maybe i have this wrong but doesnt the spacer give the engine a little bit of a deeper growl as well?

So the OP cant decide between sound or speed so might as well go with spacer right. He will gain some horses as well as gain a little sound.
