All the axle-backs will be virtually identical for performance (all around a gain of 7 rwhp)

Your intake was less than that... anywhere from 0-5 for most intakes... arguably the short rams lose a bit to heat.

I've always liked Tanabe stuff, good "stockish" looks and pretty much no drone.



hks is good though too but I tend to go as low kep as possible in modding now.

I think that's the target right now.. since laws are getting tough. People are going to more subtle and stealthy option. Tanabe is good choice cause they offer low deep subtle sound =]

tanabe is quiet at first and when it breaks in, it gets deeper. i know from experience. i like mine alot and glad i purchased it. plus its not like ur driving a 240 or civic so why u want a cannon sticking out the back of your car?
