no intake for our car is CARB legal, wether it be SRI, or CAI. I would recommend the ARK DT-s with the Injen CAI if you want a good combo of a quit(er) exhaust (no exhaust is really quiet...especially after you add a CAI). This will yield some good numbers and will total at about 800 for a full exhaust setup (including resonator if you ever get an aftermarket header) and a CAI. The DT-s is not that loud and to answer an earlier question, does not have rasp even after the addition of an aftermarket header...somebody here has it with videos (do a search if you want to see) and it sounds clean and deep.

well there are exhausts that are a little more quiet than the dt-s, but they don't have the power because they are all axlebacks whereas the dt-s is a full catback

i agree.. the dts looks sick but sounds a lil raspy to me... duno if its just me or what... not a big fan of the big canisters... i heard the dt-s and n2 yield about the same power.. n2 maybe a lil more

... ive been looking into the ark dt-s, magnaflow, or megan oe-rs, heres some vids tell me what you guys think

IMO i think the magnaflow sounds the best idk how they compare performance wise but its not that big of a difference (except i think the megan and magnaflow are axleback and the ark is catback which makes a difference) but the magnaflow is probably THE most expensive axleback. I love the deep throaty sound so i like the TRD, Borla, and Magnaflow which are the most expensive ones.

just listen to all the clips on youtube for the sound you like because alot of them sound good and with an intake added to the exhaust they sound even better.
