Default I beleive that the less turbulence that you can add to an exhaust system the better.

Merge collectors cause turbulence and that is bad. I am sure all of the exhausts are good. well with the exception of one. The only problem that i have with the MTM besides the 2 into one design is that it used crimped (not welded) mufflers. They look like off the shelf. For $1700 the is just way too much for a simple design that is going to cause the same turbulence as a stock system. Now keep in mind that i am biased in saying this but the UUC system employs the best design. the VM2 with manderal bends is in my mind the best exhaust system on the market.

Default Matthew work with the UUC folks on the design of the Velocimax.

Not to put words into his mouth, but I think it's pretty safe to assume that the UUC exhaust would be his choice.

Default Like i said below i am a little biased. The concept is a good one though. I let L.S.

Brain Fart!!! I forgot about your involvement. My only concern is noise level. VM2 noise? APR?

Default These are catbacks.

How bout restriction/turbulence earlier. It would seem to me that hi-flo cats might make a huge difference. Who has experience with this?
