I have coupled a Gintani race rear with the x-pipes, RPI scoops, BMC filter and an Evolve stage 2 tune on 98ron and the car feels absolutely amazing! It's almost like jumping into a different car, it's far more exciting and thrilling to drive hard.

This is obviously just my opinion, i'd much rather save the 2k and put it towards an ESS S/C Kit then drop it on a new length of pipe which you already have that does a perfectly fine job.
Sounds mean! i assume you have never used the turner test pipes though? thanks for all the input btw!
