help me guys! the dude from my local aftermarket shop called me n told me that the greddy ti-c is in for my car, i didnt know he ordered it for me... long story, BUT overall i need to know if i should go pick it up todday or tell him im still looking. let me know asap, i want to make a good decision in my exhaust becuase i dont want it sound loud as hell and ebnoctious. thanksss!!

Did you leave a deposit?

Just my opinion, but I would not get that exhaust.

sooo,,, i got it... and i love it its not too loud and has a nice sound too it. not obnoxious at all. i took a risk and suprisingly it really was beneficial. thanks for the input though

I would have definitely gone with the Spectrum Elite from GReddy. I am glad you enjoy it though! I hope you keep enjoying it.

ya i wanted that specific exhaust, but i just decided to go with the ti-c and honestly it isnot as loud as i thought it would be and my intake is probably louder at higher rpm's than my exhaust... overall i recomend it. the spectrum is pretty much like the magnaflow soo,,, that kinda gay might as well go magnaflow. but thats just me.

As long as you like it, that's all that matters. Enjoy.

FYI - The magaflow and the spectrum are actually quite different. MF gives you more pipe (catback), but also uses the stock transverse muffler location, the spectrum has less pipe (axle back) and has an inline muffler design (non stock location and straighter path).

So....Which would you recommend? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hmmm, that's a tough one.
Magnaflow products are always top of the line, guaranteed gains, great sound, and great looks. It is a catback, but the pipe from the cat to the axle isn't much bigger than the stock pipe, so your not really going to gain much more other than having stainless steel pipe, which is better than stock. The problem I have with the magnaflow is all the extra bends, follows basically the same path as the stock exhaust, which kind of defeats the purpose of the straight free flowing exhaust. Whether or not that equates to less gains, idk.

I don't know much about Greedy, I never bought anything from them, but their products seem to be well made and their rep in the tuner world is very good. The spectrum looks great and sounds nice from the videos I've seen. It's an axle back, but I not sure if that's makes a big difference in our cars. I like that it has a straight(er) path and does not use the stock muffler location.

If you go by the principal that straighter is greater then I'd lean toward the spectrum. If you want the extra catback pipe and like the stock look then magnaflow is the way to go.
If those were my only choices and I had to choose one, I guess I'd probably go with the spectrum, even though magnaflow is great stuff, I didn't want to use the stock muffler location and you can always add a SS pipe from the cat to the axle later.

BTW - I went with HKS because they've been in the import aftermarket business for 36 years and they were started in Japan. They know Japanese and JDM cars better than any of the other big names. Top of the line quality and proven performance gains. They hold more time attack records than any other company. And the HKS Hi-Power Exhaust has a race inspired offset muffler and piping design that was inspired and designed from endurance and GT racing in Japan.
