Solo Performance 3" Race System cat-back exhaust. I believe it makes almost 30 more hp. Check them out at www.solo-performance.com

I must disagree with the previous statement. If your comparing apples to apples there is no way a mufflershop can give you similar goods for anywhere close to the same price. The prices for the Magnaflow or our kits are great value for the money.

The exhaust is a very important part of the preformence of a car, why would you want some clown with a tube bender to make it. I have heard this argument for years on Harley exausts, much simpler than ours. It is a bunch of crap. Buy a good tuned exhaust for around $500 hang it yourself. I have seen both the Solo and Magna up close and personal, Solo is better made, but both work. Have the Magna welded they leak. There are some more expensive options as well that work nicely, Borla, RPI, Billy Boat.

I have had both the Magnaflow and SOLO exhausts, and I must say that I will not stray away from SOLO again...their products are top notch in craftsmanship and quality. They don't leak, break, or discolor. They sound amazing, performance is always there, and they fit with all of Norm's rear fascias. Besides all of that, their customer service is second to none and the price is extremely reasonable for the quality that arrives at your door.

Okay, if I buy a Solo and have it sent to me, do I need to weld it, clamp it, or bring it to a shop for them to weld it on?

What is everyone's opinion on an electric exhaust cutout?

For a turbo application, no back pressure outweighs gains from tuning, correct?

Solo Street Race NO MUFFLER, why do I need a cut out? It's just straight pipe front to back, there is a resonator. I have the high flow cat my pipes are loud!
