I took it to a shop about 30 min ago, and it only took about 20 min to put it on.

It looks good and sounds great. It's actually a lot quiter than I expected which is, to be honest, not as loud as I would like. But thats ok because i hear that once it breaks in a little it gets a little louder, which is cool, I just don't want it to be too loud. This system is definitely not too loud. It's very close to the same loudness as the stock one at idle. But when you hit the gas, there's a big difference in tone. It's tone has a very nice, smooth, bassy sound.
It looks very nice on my s14. It comes striaght out the back, unlike the N1 dual and fireball. I love the way the polished aluminum tip and canister shine in the light. It definitely improved the look of the car from the rear.

As far as performance goes, I can tell that acceleration is a little quicker, it definitely revs faster. It seemed to put a little extra kick in the car when I threw it in third doing about 60mph. I didn't notice any low-end torque missing, and the mid to upper end of the power band was improved. The power difference is similar to when I put on the CAI compared to stock.

I am very pleased with this exhaust so far. And I'm pleased with the performance of my car... for now <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>


So now I have an Injen intake w/ cold air ext. and the GReddy MX exhaust system. Next up will be a new header, which will more than likely be from the same company, GReddy.

Gismo, Cool, I'm the same, way I like my exhausts quiet... &nbsp;

My first car used to set car alarms off when i passed by... &nbsp;(no it wasnt rice) (shorty headers, SVO cats, 2.75" h-pipe, flowmaster mufflers) &nbsp;so needless to say, i got sick of it really fast...

Ya, lets see some pics!

I paid Jspec.com $480 for it. Which I thought was pretty good cuz GReddy wanted like $630 from their site.


And 240meowth, I don't know what the HKS sounds like, so I don't know if the MX is quiter. But, it is pretty quite, I was suprised at how quite it was when i first cranked it up. Even the guy that installed said 'man that's pretty quite'. But like I said, I think it's going to get a little bit louder once it's broke in.


As for pics... Whats a good site to post some pics. I've been wanting to post some pics of my ride. I'll try to take some pictures and post them by next week if i have a chance. It's getting close to finals, so I don't have much time to spare. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
