Default Just installed F sport exhaust...

First thoughts:

1) Sounds perfect from outside
2) Quiet inside cabin
3) Looks great
4) Perfectly manufactured
5) I (personally) think it's worth the $$

Questions:
1) I know that the F sport system maybe adds a (whopping) 1.5% increase in HP, but is it noticeable? I understand that it's only an axle-back but I really don't feel any difference in power at all.

2) Is there any way to really open of the potential of this besides replacing the midpipe, cats, etc? I really don't want to suffer through drone for my 2nd car.

TIA

Joe

I've had the F-sport exhaust for like 2 years now. It's definitely a nicely build piece of hardware, but I would rather have a quieter ride. One of these days I'm going to buy up a stock exhaust and swap it, but the mufflers look way better than stock.

P.S. If anyone wants to trade in southern OC + cash then let me know!

The answer to question#2 is no. Minimal HP gaing all around. Joe Z intake with aftermarket drop in filter gives a few more ponies. Invidia midpipe and F Sport exhaust with intake=Hella loud!

1. With about 2 - 5 HP increase, you are not going to feel any difference. Also, depending on your mod, you increase power at a certain RPM. Intake and exhaust tend to increase top end power. You have to rev it past 4K rpm to begin to use it. But you won't feel any difference with just about 5 HP.

2. Your stuck in terms of HP increasing mods... pretty much header, mid-pipe, intake, exhaust is all that can be done. But keep in mind that some may be illegal. A custom supercharge is gonna cost money... you can also try nitrous.

thats the thing..i've watch videos on the setup but it seems extremely loud for my taste, although i'm sure there are huge gains

So it's 1200+ for just an axel back? And also how is it compared to the HKS dual exhaust?
