Stromung VS UUC system U?

what is the difference(s) b/t the UUC system U and the stromung? they both sound sick, so sound is not really it? which one is better performance wise? im looking forward to buyin one real soon, I just cant decide which one. HEEELP! lol

im leaning towards the system U, its only a few bucks more than the stromung.

Exhaust systems rarely really help engine output, and noise is wasted energy (gas) yes I was coached on this reply

Computer changes (like mixture and octane changes) make more results

In all honesty exhaust systems are for sound unless your doing some serious high performance stuff. UUC system will be loud.

Yeah, I went straight pipes on mine and it's loud. I have been lucky enough that the cops haven't asked me "wtf is wrong with you? I'm working on anotehr exhaust right now so I can take the pipes off.

Both companies you listed make great products. Straight pipes are just another reason to get pulled over, something i wouldn't be looking for.
