Bottom line: Although lacking a resonator, the Supersprint exhaust was still quiet and proved to be a good performer with good sound. Supersprint also sent a manifold-back system fabricated from 64mm stock featuring dual sport cats. We saw huge gains, the biggest of the lot, although in the interest of fairness cannot print the results.
