Well I have stayed out of this thread for a while because what people decide to buy for parts is really up to them, but there is something I like to say is ..."You get what you pay for..." When will people understand , if you want a $700 muffler..thats what you get...probably a little inferior, not made as well and probably little to no hp gain. I have seen the Dansk, Fabspeeb, B&B, FVD, Gemballa, RUF and one or two other mufflers probably lessor know. The price range just on those mentioned can range from about $600-1800 and beleive me...you do get what you pay for! I personally have had the B&B...its a crappy muffler with nominal gains. Doesnt sound all that great(more like a honda fart can). The Gemballa was nice, maybe almost too strong sounding. Nice hp gains from it, but the resonance can be anooying to those with the tiptronic. I would only get the Gemballa if you have a standard transmission. The muffler I finally ended up with is the RUF muffler. It has the same gain of HP like the Gemballa, with less resonance. Unfortunatly the mufflers did get more expensive as I moved along, but you get what you pay for!
Stop putting inferior parts in your superior vehicle! Spend the extra money and get what the car calls for. Dont spend less money just to make it sound better if it doesnt actually give you the sound, feeling and gains you are looking for. You are driving a Porsche. Not a honda. The parts are meant to be 4X the price, get used to it, its a Porsche! And in closing....YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! (sorry if I offended some people, but it is true)
