More power than the stock system.

It's a shame no one ever dynoed the megan drift spec exhaust because when I put it on, I definately felt a large gain. That one is 2.5" all the way.

For those of you who are not familiar with Agency Power, be aware that they are Vivid Racing. Do some searching under Vivid Racing and then order at your own risk.

I bet I could get a Tsudo kit and place it next to this and the only difference would be the "burnt" muffler.

***2.5 inch tubing makes for good power and no rasp***

***Price is TBD***


Well, is it 2.25 or is it 2.5? Not that I care or anything because I passed picking an exhaust out some time ago, but it would for sure benefit those who are seeking an exhaust to clarify what size piping it runs. As wether or not you are going F/I or staying N/A matters a great deal on pipe diameter.

Thanks for your criticism.

Agency-Power and Vivid Racing are two different companies. We are both in the same building and collaborate with each other for warehouse space, dyno testing, and product development. There are also three other tenants who share this building. Since I work at AP any problems are handled by me! I am on AIM under “APGeoff” for at least 10 hours a day. I will always be here for customer service related issues.

I see that you are from Colorado. Where do you get your car worked on? I have a strong network of dealers in that state who will attest that our products are quality and customer service is top notch. Just ask Chris at RX Motorsports, Tommy at Street Concepts, Lucas at Carz Custom, Tai at Cor Sport, and Bill at MAC auto. These are all my satisfied dealers in the state of CO alone.


If you have every had a bad experience with me or the Agency-Power products I can understand, but since you both dont even own our products your posts are inconclusive.

Different business licenses, tax id's, sales staff, and accounting department=different company.

I don’t recall your order. Was there something that I didn’t do to upset you?

Well put Geoff.

Can you clarify the 2.25/2.5 and the stainless steel (burnt)/titanium questions?

I bought some of your rad hoses and suprise they didnt fit. After trying for a few weeks with no response from either you or the dealer i bought them from I trashed them. SO yes I do have a view and I will express it.

The exhaust tubing for the tC exhaust is 2.25in. The piping is 321 stainless steel. We chose to make our system from 321 because 321 is stabilized by Titanium (321) and/or Niobium (347). These grades are used because they are not sensitive to intergranular corrosion after heating. Grade 321 is the grade of choice for applications in high temperature ranges. Combining high strength, resistance to scaling and phase stability with resistance to subsequent aqueous corrosion, make this the perfect choice.

The muffler and tip are completely Ti. We agreed upon titanium because of its weight and strength characteristics. The finish is burnt for aesthetic value. (Also to let everyone know that you have a Ti exhaust)

Besides all true vendors with a truely great product can overcome the negatives and turn them into possitives. Again AP hasnt done that for me or some of the select buyers in other markets. SO untill then my views stand.

I am not trying to hide anything. If you are ever in the area you can check it out. You will be like a kid in a candy store. We have so many products here. I spend the majority of my pay check here

Agency power has always treated me good.. I only purchased one part from them (the crank pulley) but I didn't have any problems at all and the quality is great.

AP has refused to become a site sponsor. This should be locked! Also it wont mean anything if you offer to replace my rad hoses now. Where were you when I first asked for help? Or did i need to come bash you first before I would get a response?
