06+ K24A2 make 235whp and 190+tq all day with just simple bolt on’s. I wouldn’t do a K20A2, you need torque to move that pig around. Unless you did a SC or Turbo, but if that’s a though then just turbo the stock K20. ---

Well, I have no current pictures of mine but I bought an egay 2.5" stainless cat back exhaust and a brand new cat for my EP3. I can say that it was well worth it. Minimal noise increase and I can actually feel a power boost. The quality, finish, and fitment of the exhaust was really surprising. I’ve never been so pleasantly surprised with a ebay item like this. A special thanks to DeviousTSi for the company and help. 🙂 ---
