I've never liked doing anything unless i do it right and properly. After i found RichP selling his LLtek/Brullen 2.5" cat-back for 350$, I immediately got on the horn and purchased the exhaust. I went to Brullen Exhaust Inc. here in Markham and Richard gave me a thumbs up for a 2.5" DP and straightpipe, instead of the dreamy 3" idea which simply won't fit without banging around in the small area provided. First i had the 2.5" DP and Straightpipe along with the stock exhaust, but i just came back from Brullen from having them install my LLtek/Brullen cat-back on, making it a true 2.5" without any restrictions or small squeezed pipes midway. I don't know who said LLtek was loud, but i really don't find it loud. When driving along nicely with traffic, it's like stock without any drone or booming sounds. As soon as you lay on the right foot, a deep throaty sound stays until about 3,500rpm and then quiets down and all you hear is the K04 spinning like krazy, let off the gas at super high rpms you hear pure engine. Feels super responsive, smooth and gas mileage has become very flexible in respects to the driving fashion. If not a Brullen, i would recommend any (if you've got the $$, custom) 2.5" turbo back for anyone who's thinking about getting one or having second thoughts. Cheers, will have finished pics up as soon as valence gets put on from being repainted

how much was the custom downpipe / straightpipe

 

Pics r broke :-(

 

Toronto, no cats (less scratches on the leather) and 800$can for DP/Strtpipe

 

Looks good though. No need for CATS in Canada?

 

no cats is quite illegal in canada but i got the brullen boys to build it in a "test pipe" fashion, where the straightpipe has flanges on both sides so when i want a cat i can just pop off the Strtpipe, pop in the hi-flow cat and voila. Always nice for a track to have the most flow possible, plus for the few days that i've had it now, i don't think it's loud at all and i'm just loving it. Cheers
