Hmmm...
Well i dont buy this power argument, mine has always felt quicker since i got mine on.
Also, it didnt sound particularly good when i first got it, but it doesnt sound that bad now, its calmed down and sounds like the OEM one just a bit louder.
TBH, i am not sure what i believe on these forums these days. Every other post i read, i read stuff like "182s never make their quoted figure", and yet when it suits the topic of conversation, suddenly they make more power, with a modified one making less.
Its almost like these green stuff pads i got which were allegedly better than OEM because a certain person said so, yet thats not my experience
I am not saying for a moment that they are the best exhausts around, but they do make a worthy replacement to the standard one, looking and sounding a bit better and making it feel a bit keener.
Its no wonder i never know what to believe what i read on this forum.
