Was this the one you got? http://shop.vintagespeed.com.tw/s.nl/it.A/id.7/.f |
I hope that you're not waiting for answers, this is an old thread & this individual hasn't logged in for almost two years.

Yep that's the one I'm looking at just a lot of $$$. How long did it take to get to your door after purchase assuming you bought off their site? |

Surprisingly quick, I thought. Three weeks.

I know I'm resurrecting an old topic but oh well. I want an AA sidewinder because it is cheaper than A1 but it still has the ground clearence. I currently have an Empi phat boy (I think, it was given to me for free) and wanted to know how the sound would compare. I also found a Dynomax super turbo same side exit and was thinking about getting the sidewinder and taking a reciprocating saw to the muffler and welding on that one. Any thoughts? Would the dynomax be quieter?

| Get the exhaust tip "out" past the rear bumper and it will be quieter. |

| And make the exit pipe smaller. If it’s 2.5 inch exit make it 2 inch. Tiger at A1 told me to try this years ago and it made a huge difference even after getting out behind the car. Much less boomy. If I recall correctly he said 2 inch was good to around 120hp. |

In my opinion so much better than the sidewinder. I have had both their system with tuned header and now currently with high flow heater boxes. |
I would like to see pics of this exhaust installed. |
Here's mine:

Here is my new Gen 3 Sidewinder. Tiger’s stuff only works with Tiger’s stuff. This is Tiger’s test mule on the rack.
Here is the First Gen non traction bar Sidewinder.
