thermal is going to give you a a very small power loss in comparison the racing medallion. (but your right those sound oh so clean)

 

i would also suggest the thermal exhaust setup. excellent design and exhaust note. i dont think youd really "loose" any power. you must realize that in a N/A engine setup, there is a required amount of back-pressure that needs to be there. if not theres not enough velocity in the escaping exhaust gases, and causes a loss in the lower-band of power. which is why its not suggested to go over a 2.25" tubing on a N/A engine setup, to keep that exhaust gas at a higher escape velocity.

Thermal is a nice stainless steal setup that will last a long time (unless you're lowered and rip it off on a speed-bump or something)

Does anyone have any sound clips of the Thermal on a 4th Gen Lude??

 

anyone gots a HKS exhaust of any type on their 4th gen?

 

Just put on an Apex W/S exhaust. I love it. It is not to loud. It eliminated the 3000 to 4000 rpm surge that I always feel. Installed easy in about 2 hours.

 

im thinking of going with the apex n1 for 5th gen (97) non SH

 

Hey Seth, remember stevens? he had racing medallion on his gsr. it sounded like mine on his car only louder. My friend Huy's got Apexi N1 on his 2001 lude. its a hot piece of ass. Ill see if i can get in touch with him so you can hear i.

 

thanks dawg...im getting the vis octane kit samson's friend is prolly gonna paint it for me...anyways call me when yah get back in town

 

if you're talking loss.. maybe in the lower but you'll gain in upper... that happens with most catback systems.....

 

how loud is the racing medalion in comparison to the n1?
