Get a JASMA Approved cat-back like Kakimoto, Fujitsubo or 5Zigen dude. Though the prices of jap exhausts had gone up due to the weak Aust$$, they r worth every penny, in terms of quality, they r mainly inconel coated and comes in stainless steel, optional titanium muffler, great mandrel bends, professionally welded, OEM fitment and they aren't noisy and droney like most mild steel Xforce shit.

U can get it at good prices with most jap aftermarket shops who bought stock before the economy took a plunge.

I'm only recommending this bcos nothing can ever beat the R&D those jap brands put into their work. Do remember, our cars are from there as well, who else knows best when it comes to performance?

not to add insult to injury, xforce is made in taiwan for the matter, just as good as being mass produced and copied.

Certain products do have quality like the varex muffler, but that's about the best u can get from them, a "Muffler", and wad u need is a turbo-back or cat-back. Invest in a good set of exhaust and u will realise it will be all worthwile in the future.

Gone thru the painful road of learning the hard way, there's no short-cut to performance, money is the only solution for that matter. Save up for a Jap Exhaust...

So would you guys suggest a better jap exhaust system with a apexi ecv in place over the varex muffler?
I've been planning on a jap-spec system pul ecv for a while but didnt know about the varex.

from what i've seen, hypertec looks to be quality, but the dump pipe is not the split design - get a split dump for better performance and reliability
