^^ yea i feel you.. exhaust give such a low hp for the price.. i wish Joe Z would have spent all this time designing some real power parts other than an exhaust... even though im sure his exhaust will be flawless

Having seen the entire teardown of an engine in one of these cars I would have to conclude that there is a lot more than just 8 hp from a full exhaust system. I'l talking cylinder head to the exhaust tips. Its just a matter of how loud one may want it to be and how much low end could one tolerate to suffer?

Making it tolerable in sound and overall use is a main point...
After all we own a Lexus ... Sound it shouldn't like a muscle car..

I agree about the exhauts in general... but, keep in mind we own a 306 HP V6.
There is not much more we can make in the power parts dept... Just make better ones...

Offer 2 and 4 resonator versions so people can decide on the sound level they prefer. Milltek does this with their exhaust for the Audis. They offer resonated and non resonated midpipes.
