yea i mean, the exhaust skunk 2 stage 1 cam is compareable to the type r exhaust cam:

skunk2 stage1 : 10.9 mm, duration 249 @ 1m
ITR/CTR : 10.5 mm, duration - 235 @ 1mm

the only other thing that it could possibly be compareable is
JUN II exhaust : 10.9 mm, duration - 265.3 @ 1mm

here is the chart i am using:

Upgrading the intake cam is more benefitial. You can swap out for a bigger exhaust cam that help air flows out of the cylinder, but you're not gonna gain much power because the amount of air going in is almost the same.
