Anyone have experience with this OR heard about it? Is it a good buy?

You have a nice car go with a full catback system...but the sedans do have small exhaust tips so i could see why...

i've always thought that this would be a good idea, i didn't know they made anything like it. when you get a big free-flowing exhaust, you lose backpressure, but at high rpms you want it to flow freely, so it seems like this would be very helpful, if it works correctly.

03, I don't feel like spending the money for a full catback system just yet, maybe in 6 to 12 months.

KMFDM, yep, it sounds like it would be beneficial, if it works the way it says it does. Didn't find much on google.

Give it a shot, the tip looks cool too so that definitely a plus. I don't think you'd benefit by putting that on a stock exhaust though.

Don't u think if it added a significant differance Honda and other manufacturers would use it in their cars. Especially if it is supposed to help emissions and gas milage. I would NOT buy into this gadget. It remineds me of those vortex thingies u put into the intake to increase velocity and gain whopping Hp LOL

except those vortex things actually work, the law of physics.
only at higher speeds though.

no, I don't think they'd use it in their cars. I don't feel like elaborating so I'll just leave it at that
