N/A are just that slow, I have one, and its slow, admiting you have a problem is the first step to a cure B)

I agree! My vert is slow even with the full dual exhaust. I guess that's why I'm selling it (the exhaust) to put the stock one back on. If I wanted to be loud and slow I'd buy a honda.

I gained more than 5 hp from my exhaust, more like 20 - 30 hp. But the car is still slow!

What I ment was that I would be changing the overall diameter of my tire. I think you knew what I ment.

On the vert I've got 225 50 15s I don't know what is on the AE. It wouldn't surprise my if all 4 tires were a diff. size.

What was the stock tire size for the TII?
I figured you meant that, but I wanted to be sure. TII stock tires are 205/55/16. The tires you have will still give a pretty accurate speed.

Yes i have started considering it, what kind of exhaust is quiet, but not too restrictive for the TII? i get scared when i punch it and everyone can hear me for a mile away. I feel i will get a ticket in 1 sec.

The best overall system--power/noise-- is the Racing Beat turbo back.

I saw a 10AE in my city two days ago with the RB turbo-back. I wanted to talk to the dude, but the car was parked, and I didn't have time to wait for him.

I've had my 89 GTU up to 132, and it scared the **** out of me. I couldn't get it any faster, though; sharpish turn coming up, I would have bit **** pretty quick. Oh well, now that I've gone that fast in this car, I won't have to do it again. Not until I mod it, which, by the look of my paycheck, isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Don't feel bad. I probably haven't gone over 120-130 in my car, but it gets there pretty quickly.
