i have a dc catback...i love it. i can tell a great deal of power with it. The part i like most about it though, it is not made for being loud. When matched with an aem CAI, you can barely hear it. It is made for performance. I bought mine when the price was high, like $800. i give it:

Please don't make statements like this if you can't back it up with a dyno. Butt-dynos don't count. A simple cat-back exhaust is not going to make a noticeable difference.

I put on a K&N air filter, Carsound high flow cat, and a Thermal cat-back exhaust and did not notice much...if any....gains. In fact....I raced my friend before...and after the mods. The difference was negligable. He still beat me by pretty much the same amount.

i have a dyno where just a k&n drop in filter actually took off .1 hp!! A catback will help over small, restictive exhaust. You will get the best result out if it with an AEM CAI and header.

back in the summer, Honda Tuning magazine did a test on an RSX of the best intakes. When they just put the K&N filter in, it had a .1hp loss. I could post it, but i would have to find a scanner to scan the dyno. Im too cheap to by a scanner!

I bought mine for my lude like 3yrs ago. great sound/looking exhaust. It has a nice finish since it's ss. I didn't notice any major performance gains but that wasn't expected anyway. I'll try to post up some pics for ya.
