looks nice. i'm not big on cutting a larger hole into the diffuser. seems like it would be tough to get a nice even, clean cut through the metal._JD_ said:That hole cutting job is pretty piss-poor. Not really "feelin" the stage 2 yet.
from the pics someone posted of their newly purchased stage II, it says right on the part, "For off-road use only"samberken said:Can anyone tells me the difference? in terms of power, noise etc.
Is it street legal?

so my guess is no, it's not street legal.![]()
ahh... good point. I wonder what the legality of installing one aftermarket would be then. Being that it has no effect on emissions, I would guess that, as long as it fits within your local noise laws, it's fine on the road.Patricko said:I think what Chris is saying is that we have some funny laws and if the car did not have that exhaust when it was certified then it would have to say "Track Use Only" or some variation of that![]()
