I noticed a very small power loss, but then i only noticed a very small gain when i removed the factory style ones. they sound very restrictive because they are so quiet, but i really dont notice any big loss. still spins em shifting into 2nd, only now its really strange because you dont hear the motor screaming. :lol:

personally i reccomend them. but its because im going with exaust dumps for when i want to take it to the strip. or **** off my neighbors :D i wouldnt get them if you dont have plans to do dumps, or if you want an aggressive tone. they are very mellow.
