hey guys/girls! well as i mentioned before im pretty new to all this stuff so if my "noobiness" questions offend any of you plz bear with me. anyways! i was wondering wat kind of exhaust i should pick up for my 03 type s. i narrowed my choices down to the greddy evo2 and skunk megapower exhausts but cant decide. which exhaust would i get more performance from and would you guys recommend? appreciate the feedback thanks!!!

 

kpro

 

i wasnt aware that kpro made exhaust systems

i would go with the greddy.

 

I have the skunk2 on my ep3 love it

 

Kpro will give you more HP gains than any exhaust system on the market, and you won't look/sound like a ricer

 

I have a Megapower R on my EP but always wished I went with Greddy. What I went with was millimeter piping. I'm pretty sure that the Skunk2 Megapower RR is 78 mm, which is larger than the Greddy's, I THINK. Idk, just research it.

Also, if you are consider something with large piping you will probably need to worry about your catalytic converter fitting so you might need it welded or just buy a hi-flow one.

 

i have a greddy evo2 catback, & i love it. greddy makes good exhausts. but on the other hand, i have no experience with the skunk2 megapower.

 

76mm but you were close...

i would actually recommend getting either the skunk2 mega power R or RR or a 3in thermal research exhaust system...they will provide the most power gains for the Type-S and be reliable in the furture for other mods whether it be NA or FI

 

thanks for the feedback guys! hows the sound with both of them? i heard the evo2 is relatively quiet and the skunk series are louder?

 

i have the skunk2 and it has a great smooth sound just all around a great piece

 

Youtube for the sounds...in general skunk2 is louder and annoying in the cabin. Who cares about 3 hp when your going deaf?

 

skunk2 sounds little louder.
Don't wanna complicate things, but with similar budget, you may want to consider some type of 3" set-up such as Vibrant exhaust w/ 2.75" or 3" pipe + resonator. Or looking into what nahonda04 suggested is another option. If you do it right, it won't be unbearably loud. GL!

 

so i thought about it and im gonna get the skunk2 mepagower r its more friendly on my wallet and from some vids i saw on youtube it sounds pretty good. hoping it wont be irratatingly loud tho thanks for your guys suggestions! much appreciated

 

Thermal is the only one that won't have bottlenecks built in near the flanges, I would definitely go with this one.

The Greddy exhaust just makes your car sound louder, the piping is 2.5" in the longer sections but it bottlenecks down to 2" or so near the flange joints. This is bad and restricts flow.

 

in my opinion, i would say the greddy sounds better

 

I like the sound of ws2 better...

 

Picking an exhaust for the sound

bunch of ricers in here lately.

 

Well, I don't think its "ricer" when you wanna consider sound into choosing something you would spend $500+ on.

 

You just have different priorities than I do

It's fine, I hope you enjoy the bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

if you want a loud exhaust system then go with the skunk2. greddy evo2 is super quite. my engine/intake out tones my greddy evo2. but if you want power. forget the catback system just get a race header. for the most power from upgrading the exhaust system would be a race header. i rather spend $500+ on a header then a catback system. btw 400 bucks could get you a nice header.

 

Thats great and all...but there is absolutely no point in getting a race header without upgrading the exhaust.

 

^^^this all depends on his plans bro. also a race header is still a part of the exhaust system upgrade.

 

Yeah i see what you are saying...but just a race header alone is not going to help very much. It will be very restrictive. 2.5" collector to 2" cat = sucky sucky five bucky.

 

lol. Kind of like the saying "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link".... well the same is true for exhaust systems.

"An exhaust only flows as much as the smallest bottleneck point".... or something like that

 

greddy evo sounds perfect on the rsx
