Anyone doing Carlisle this spring? P&S and/or Import & Kit Nationals?

Most exhausts are going to be within the 12-17 window of hp gain +/-2. So really you're looking at Sound/Looks/Cost/Labor for this car.

That was my conclusion. I believe they're roughly comparable on ease of install and looks, but the Berk is quieter (which I think is good for me), cheaper and marginally lighter.

It's good that you leave weight savings for last as you'll beat Most of the people in this thread already on driver mod weight savings, sans me.

Yeah, but you're like a foot taller than me! I suspect you weigh more than 115 lbs.

Larger diameter piping, straighter bends, less restriction = more power. They use a good sturdy stock of steel, thus the weight.

Don't let my height distract you...

On the other hand it could just be that I'm slowly going deaf
Exhausts will always be loud when new. It takes time for the exhaust to break in. So the tone will quiet/deepen as it gets older. That's why I didn't bother with that stuff either.
