There may also be a resonance/radiant acoustic difference going from that bulky machined casting to the relatively thin-walled shorties. Obviously, a precision set of stainless steel headers would be cost-prohibitive on a mass-production scale.

If "only" 10 RWHP comes from it, that would be very exciting! Let's keep our fingers crossed...

The more I listen to the clips, the closer I get to making an appointment with MRT. Meanwhile, I keep saving up my "allowance"...

That's good to hear, I hope everyone gets their exhaust on ASAP and start posting some take-offs!

snow falling here in pittsburgh, pa today ...I think it will delay my exhaust purchase as i will not be able to drive it and enjoy it for a few months...haha hopefully some info will be available for the exhaust and those Shorty headers by the time the weather breaks to help ease my items to buy decision.

devildoc · 12-05-2009, 06:07 PM

what is the diameter of our exhaust piping 2.25 or 2.5? If 2.25 would it be benefitial to expand to 2.5 from the resonators?

2.25... No benefit until maybe you go with like high flow cats and some type of forced induction...

sorry a little off subject, but which set of headers was claiming 33hp increase? and why would their be so much more?

Those are the BBK Long Tube WITH high-flow cats... they are claiming the 33 HP gain in the 5500 RPM range, not at peak... The question is how much of that gain is due to the long tubes and how much is due to the high-flow cats.... ???

Okay ya'll so I just got off the phone with kim @ MRT. I bought the last V2 kit.

She said that they should have some more V2s for purchase in around 2 weeks or less. The price is still 499$ Can't wait to get it on there. Kim also is looking for owners that have purchased and placed V1 or 2s on their 5gen for pics.

The list price will be $549, but MRT is offering having an introductory sale so the current price is $499...

devildoc · 12-09-2009, 06:13 AM

Yeah $499...then its back to $549. Don't know when they are going to discontinue the first price. I would call Kim. But MRT has my business now!
