Default Exhaust, ASP or Forge?

OK, I am thinking about getting an exhaust for my car, and of the choices and sound clips available I have decided to go either with the ASP Tru-dual or the Forge. altough I am curious to the note of the Forge dual since the only forge clip I can find is Don's 3" single. Also, from searching the Forge and Milltek differences are merely name and hangers correct? (aside from pricing)

Default Milltek SuperDual

Talked to Josh about this when I was choosing, and I think he guided me well (he has Forge Dual). I LOVE the sound of my SuperDual, a little smoother than Borla, and my pipe's fit & finish were superb. I really liked the fit & finish on my Milltek 3" and the SuperDual (w/ LaBrees) measured up.
The sound is smooth and unintrusive during normal driving, but when you floor it you get KILLER sound. Still not overbearing or intrusive, just THERE.

Default I'm glad you like it :)

BTW, spent 2 hours today trying to get that @#%&#@^% UUC on the car. Doesn't fit worth a damn. I gave up and put the old one back on. Did you have as much trouble getting it to fit? What a PITA!

Default The milltek and forge use different mufflers too

the milltek fits a lot better IMHO. Call me if you want to order one! 877-722-4886

Default It'll fit, and not rub, but it takes a little patience. I have some pointers if you'd...

like, to chat tomorrow gimme a call.
Like other duals you have to turn the pipes from the dps to the rez so the driver side is high and the pass side hangs down a bit at the first bend. This'll clear the rear diff subframe better. My plan (if I was going to use it) was to have the pass side rear hanger cut shorter. I dunno what kinda car that exhaust was made to fit, but not ours!
Thanks again for the great advice on the SuperDual, big-time Wife Approval!

Default Yeah, love it... but when does it quit spitting fiberglass all over the rear of the car?

I don't really mind, all the sportbike pipes do this too when they're new.

Default

Is that a dual system? How is the sound as compared to the Forge/Milltek clip of Don's?

Default that would be the original Forge/Milltek 3", great pipe...

and very close to what I had. Nice, mellow sound, but arguably more restrictive than a good dual pipe. I figured after all the Stage 3 work it was time I went to a pipe that sounded a little more authoritative and flows better. Everybody be nice, we don't need to rehash the dual-vs-3" argument again.
