Two mufflers will be better then twin loops. Bends create resistance in airflow. Twin loops usually have hard 180* bends which will be poor for power.

The sell because the marketing sells to ricers.

I will be putting a Borla Xr1 on my car. Maybe two.

Other than that screw abs, auto seatbelts,shitty *** sway bar links, no lsd (t2 only) or 4 pots(except t2 and vert) and they are heavier than s4's. So what is the argument again.........
correction: my 91 gxl has 4 pots, but yeah it does have all the extra crap like the seatbelts and extra weight blah blah blah. i love it though.

Seat belts must have been an option for the S4 cars then? lol. I wouldn't call seatbelts "extra crap".

Power seat belts, the ones that forcefully strangle you. Same reason I wouldn't want an S5.

But that's actualy true in the case of Mugen and Nismo!

Nismo: NISsan-MOtorsports.

Lookat things like nismo brake components, engine mounts, etc. etc. etc.

And look the the Mugen SI sedan? They are in house Tuning companies and work VERY closely with the Manufacturers... therfore, all parts have to be up to "Factory standards" in their eyes.
