Theres a lot of info here, and there's a lot to learn. But honestly don't spend money till you know what and why you are buying it. Also, figure out a series and learn their classing rules. Different levels of competitions allow you to do different things to your car. If you decide you want to compete in something, the last thing you want to do is have to un-do that expensive modification you did, just so you can compete in a certain class.

That being said, the Tomei exhaust is for a street/show car not a track car imo. It's lightweight yes, but it will get beat to hell at the track. I guess you could argue it's a racing exhaust, but I would say only if you are building a thoroughbred race car and have some sort of funding/budget.

Highly inaccurate. I ran the Tomei on track (and street) and it's an extremely durable system. Since it is lightweight, I would argue it's more justifiable for track use than most of these other systems on the market. The only way you'd destroy it is by running an un-reasonable ride height.

And the Tomei is not for looks if you actually use the car. The Ti fades and it looses its shine. I personally don't mind it but that's because I don't really care how it looks.
