corksport exhaust or TMIC, boost tubes, and denso spark plugs

[StormTrooper6]

Okay so I've got 700 dollars to spend and I can't decide between the corksport CBE or a new TMIC, boost tubes, and denso spark plugs. Just thought I'd fish for some suggestions or advice.

Thanks
Nick

I like the exhaust choice myself. Get the ITV22s shortly after.

Get the exhaust! You'll love it.

Hey zoomzoom, how does it fit and look in those exhaust shrouds? Any possible pics lying around to excite my interest?

The fit and quality is fine.. The only issue is volume.. These were louder than I was hoping. I'd say get the muffler/test pipe too.. You honestly won't notice much with the tmic it's mostly for the big turbo upgrade.. Which is my only big item left to buy.. Except for a bbk which I'm not sure if I'll do..

louder how? i can deal with loud, don't want the rice effect though.

That's what i need, i buy alot of stuff, i admit, but i have to pretty much wait for that check and i need something that will give me that feeling between paychecks lol.

the performance is fine and its not twangy at all!! its just a little louder than i was hoping?? but, the weird part is that its louder..way louder inside than outside?? mostly you just feel it across the bottom.. but, the only quieter option is maganflow.. and didnt think those were loud enough.. so for the price corksport is really the only option.. dont sweat it.. just buy!! (usa)

When I first purchased my Corksport CBE I was using a 2.5" test pipe with it. I agree with markspd6 in that it was just too loud in the cabin at highway speeds. I picked up their "race pipe" shortly after and that made all the difference. The tone is deep and mellow; non-intrusive if you will. However, if you get the revs up, it's got one hell of a mean growl.

If you're stuck at $700, that won't cover the cost of the CBE and race pipe (plus shipping). If you've got $250-300 more than that lying around, I'd go this route.

His sig says he has the RP, so I think the CBE is all he's buying.

Overall though, you like the exhaust with that combo? i may end up with that later this year if I can hear one in person first.

I love it. If you come to St. Louis this summer for the Gateway meet, you can listen to mine all day long.

Tunersteve is correct, i already have the racepipe in and it definately gives it a pretty mean growl in the midrange I just wanted a catback to mate up with it to really set it off. Yea youtube videos kinda give you an idea of what it sounds like but hearing it in person would be a whole lot better.

And now, back to the thread...

Stormtrooper, I've got a magnaflow single 2.5 CBE--It may be quieter than the CS, but it isn't ricey at all...deep, mellow tone, and no freeway drone either.

We got off topic for a bit, but damn, that s**** funny!

Yea, this isn't the MS3 section. If we get off topic, it's usually pretty funny. When they get off topic, someone ends up needing a Manpon.
