Neuspeed
i have the neuspeed and it was noticeable. they claim 8hp to the wheels, which for a retail price of $199 on their site (obviously less if you get a good price through a shop) is a great deal. throttle response is crisper and the rev limiter is increased and the top limiter removed. plus, if you live in socal, you can drive to neuspeed and have it done while you wait to save you having to pull the ecu and send it in.

Upsolute.....15K and trouble free.......loving it....
It is not just the 15HP gain, it is also the 20lbs of additional Torque, the better throttle response, etc. I have Supersprint mufflers also which give a claimed 3 to 5% increase. Supersprint are a known brand and Dyno their systems on the respective cars. I estimate I am running at 245 Hp and 250 lbs Torque (crank). The car is fun with lots of pull. Don't listen to people who say 'it is not worth it'. BS! Every bit counts. This is how the car should have come from the factory.

Good. How is the sound of the mufflers? I don't want to go loud...
But you said that the car should have come from factory like that so I'm guessing it's much louder than the sock system, right? Also did you swap the whole system?

Re: Good. How is the sound of the mufflers? I don't want to go loud...
The sound at idle is low and deep. I too did not want a noisy, Ricer exhaust. When you step on the gas however it is a nice throaty roar. At cruise speeds of 75 or 80 it is like at idle. I have my radio set at level 9, same as with my stock exhaust, no problem. I believe the car should have come from the factory with this much power, considering the competition from other manufacturers. I only replaced the mufflers as the stock piping and resonator are fine. Maybe later if I install custom headers, or hopefully Supersprint will make them, I will change out the rest.
