I just wanted to show the peeps on this site the power you could make when going either route and the amount of money you will spend to get there.

I don't really think that's a fair comparison in price because the mugen exhuast is not cheap.

They will work with both K20A and K20A2.

aznbo1626, i compared the setups that were given on both websites. They are the setups used to achieve the numbers they advertise. If TODA wanted to save some money and possibly make some more power, they would have used the Comptech 2.5" exhaust which is a good $200 cheaper. Also, the IPS setup is using the lesser header of the two. It is making more power for less money... why are people disputing this???

b/c according to some people on crsx it's not a fair comparison lol.... and that if it was only a numbers game it would be different, but you factored in the cost. i think it says a lot about IPS. but the only "fair" comparison is having the exact same set up in the same car with the same mods and just swapping out the cams.

Now can we throw in a $5000 Turbo kit and Jackson Supercharger kit and see where that goes?

170 Ft-Lbs is very impressive though for NA
