OK kiddies, put your best "takes" forward on these two iconic and distinctive exhaust systems. I've eliminated the Predators as I think the Carpenter iteration of this design does it better...and preds are prohibitively expensive to boot.
I don't like the "wiggly noodle" look of the Jardines as they look ridiculous on the squarish lump that is the R3 motor. However, they reputedly add over 15 ponies over TORs. They ARE chromed and they cost "only" ~$1,100, give or take some change.
On the other hand is the awesome looking Carpenter Racing Megaphone Header/exhaust set up. Three into one. Clean design that compliments the R3 angularity. Also touted to smoke TORs by around 20 ponies if press is to be believed. NOT interested in brushed finish. Polished might do.
From what I can ascertain, they both produce about the same hp gain over stock: 12-20 hp, supposedly. Jardines are cheaper, even than the polished CP megas, but are seriously stupid looking, IMHO. The CP megas have the design dialed in but are rather costly. Ultimately, it's about performance AND saving a buck or two if possible.
Anyone care to weigh in on these two very distinctive systems before I commit $$$ to a purchase I might regret???? THX crew!
