I like it way more. The extra torque is great and I don't get why people hate on it. The interior is great and I can't wait to do some boltons and flashpro. Hopefully in a year I can do a rotex kit !

Some people don't like the 9th gen, because it doesn't have 8k redline and in stock the Vtec crossover is not as loud as 8th gen is.

I do miss my 8th gen, but I Definitely like the lower miles. My 07 had 149,xxx when I traded it in. Now I have 16k and its nice lol. I should have I/DP/E and flashpro in a few weeks. There's not many used 3 inch exhausts for sale though, or downpipes :( I'm leaning towards the UR exhaust combo, catless, and skunk2 intake. Was totally going to buy all fullrace exhaust but it's more expensive and UR has nifty tip options...and than a kraftwerks kit!

Is expensive for a reason. Cheap exhausts have horrible welds on them. Full race exhaust, dp and PRL CAI. She deserves quality parts.

I thought ultimate racing was considered good quality? I didn't mean to come off sounding cheap lol:hiding:lol

I guess its full race exhaust combo then! but I didn't want to go rbc cause it eventually will be supercharged so that's why I opted for the skunk2 intake....would I be able to sell my intake setup(rbc/prl) and not lose too much money when I'm ready to go FI? Thanks for not being rude:brock:

I have the Ultimate Racing combo and I love it, definitely high quality with lots of options for customizing the tip and the sound

Yup, did some reading around and I'm getting prl cai for stock manifold, full race Dp and exhaust and flashpro. Then go s/c later...

Edit. Prl cai for stock mani is 400$, just gonna rock the stock intake.
