What's wrong with Agency power exhausts? There have been a few threads on here stating how nice they are. I've had one on my Genesis coupe as well, it was pretty good.

The 350z guys love the Agency Power single exhaust.

Meh.. After going to SEMA this year I found out that even a lot of the JDM brands do their manufacturing in China or Taiwan, then simply do the finishing work in house. For the most part, we're all going to end up with Chinese crap on our cars (even OEMs manufacture parts in China) so using that as a reason to not like a brand is pointless.

I don't support people who knock off people's parts. Several of their parts are an exact replica of Kartboy products.

I'll see if I still have pics of what I had to do to get my Megan headers to fit on my IS300. It required hammering the firewall in.

Chuck might be somewhat of a negative nancy, but you gotta respect and understand that he's an opinionated dude who demands high quality.

Somewhat, yeah. The guys who make knockoff parts are bad for enthusiasts in the big picture. It takes money out of the pockets of the guys who actually do the r&d.

I had Agency power exhaust. It wasn't that bad but I sold it after awhile. It seemed that everytime I reach higher rpm, exhaust gets quieter?? At least that's how I felt and I got really annoyed. And that infamous farting sound it made when the car is closer to stopping.
