I have a quick question, right now i could buy A set of Crower Stage2 Cams with stock idle lobes for 500 or an rsr exhaust for 520. I have a set of skunk2 adj. cam gears already. My question is which will give me more power tuned. If i install the cams matched with the cam gears will i need a new exhuast or is the stock one fit for the new power? I need answers asap. thanks also how much would it cost to tune and install the cams and cam gears?

 

you will see more gainas with the cams. but will be able to utilize them better with an better header and exhaust

 

hmmmmm **** thats what i thought.

Ahhh ****, i just went to the site and check them out. If i did install them i need springs and retainers as well and thats more money i dont have. Ohh well whatever, thanks anyway

 

why would u waste 500 + on an exhaust?

 

because i live in canada, shipping for an exhaust would jack it up to 800-1000 that is why. This is why i made this post. I want to know if i should buy the cams instead. But it looks like i need to spend hundreds more on retainers and springs, tuning and install.
The exhaust is free install, easy tuning, and the same price. Im going for power to price right now. the cams are looking upward of 1000+ after install tuning, and having to buy springs and retainers. Acutually more like 1500+

i think i pretty much answered my own question. Maybe down the road in summer or something i will buy the cams, springs, and retainers.

 

why not just make a custom exhaust?

because it will more than likely sound liek sh*t compared to the rs-r

but it all comes down to person preferance

 

yeah just get the cams and just make a custom 2.5" exhaust.

Mine is custom and it sounds fine.

Also OP you understand that with Crower stage 2 cams your going to have to upgrade your valvetrain right?

 

Custom exhaust with a decent muffler is perfectly good.

 

nobody reads post before they post anymore do they? i am the op and if you read what else i said it would make sense. I want the cams over the exhaust but i know i would have to buy an exhaust to maximize the potential of the cams, but i would also need new springs and retainers which is even more money, and pay for install and tuning. I dont have enough for all that so i will just do the exhaust right now and in summer probably hit up the cams and valve train.

not if you have a brain and can figure out a decent muffler to weld up...

idiot- def. one who overpays others to think for them

but to the op i strongly recommend you make your own...if you dont have a welding hookup..find a welding shop and ask one of the guys if they'll do some off clock work for cash
