Message	people who think that turning exhaust gasses 90* versus 20* doesn't slow it downas much has no clue about the laws of nature/physics. Straighter=faster=better scavenging. This isn't an argument, just a simple fact. If you get a 'performance' exhaust you might as well go for performance, unless of course you're just gettin it for the 'shiny' look. Power wise straighter= better-hands down, no argument the HKS is the straightest(well except for the just posted Lebree) "You've got a bad turbo"- expert diagnosis by Brice at Alamo Autosports** cactuses
