Yeah I'm not about that life, but if someone else wants it that's their choice. I'm still torn between HKS, 27Won, and AWE for my car. Wish I could run an entire JDM set up, but that also comes with it's own limitations.Say no to junk2
So it's more likely 83lbs lol.Just got a message back from Skunk2 about the weight of their system. This is what was said
“The 63lbs is a rough estimate, we currently do not have the actual weight to provide you.”
Exactly what I said when I read that email ?. This thing could be even heavier than advertised.So it's more likely 83lbs lol.
I doubt it weighs more than milltek. That freaking milltek muffler weighed a ton.
So I bought one of these for my 2020 si sedan, and I just received my fed-ex delivery notice. And the package weight is 46.6lbs. So safe to say they over estimated the exhaust weight.Exactly what I said when I read that email ?. This thing could be even heavier than advertised.
Most manufactures would rather go that direction anyways. Estimate it to be worse and the customer will be happier when they find out it actually is better. Though I have to say, it does make them look worse on paper. I'm sure by the time they're ready for production and sale, they'll have an accurate number down.So I bought one of these for my 2020 si sedan, and I just received my fed-ex delivery notice.

I think that the company just isn't the same as it used to be, same with many others from the golden years.Man, I must be old if I don’t understand why Skunk2 has such a bad rap? I’d have no problem running an exhaust system from them. Curious to hear the true sound of this setup. I refuse to pay $1500 plus for metal. The only exhaust that sounds half decent for my tastes is Fujitsubo.l and Apexi.
Now I will say this, I’d never use skunk2 engine components, but I never had issues running their exhausts, cam gears, intake manifolds, or even suspension components back in my integra and ef,ek civic builds.
Agreed. I definitely do not think as highly of HKS, Greddy, or Apexi as I used to alongside Skunk2. But this is an exhaust we are talking about, not a damn turbo or upgraded lsd they are bringing to market. If it sounds good and is sub $800, I am definitely interested.I think that the company just isn't the same as it used to be, same with many others from the golden years.
Appreciate the info and the quick review.I got the exhaust and posted some clips here:

Some people have had bad experiences with skunk2 in the past. Maybe 10-20 years ago they were junk. But I have had no problems with any of their newer stuff. Seems like they improved their quality control.
