Hello, I'm new to this website and I have a few questions maybe you guys can help me with.

I'm thinking about getting a intake for my 08 Coupe and the best quote i got is a Injen Intake for 210. I also like Stillen but they are a little more... Any insights about other intakes and did you guys get it for the same price?

I'm also thinking about doing an exhaust system but those prices for Stillen Exhaust and Nismo Exhaust are tough out there. Btw what do you guys think is better? Cat back or Axle back? and anyone get any check engine light issues with installing exhaust?

Thanks for your insight!

Injen makes an amazing intake. My thoughts on it are this: if the Injen has MR Technology, then go with it; if not, go with the Stillen. As far as exhaust is concerned, you're gonna have to pay to play. Neither should cause a CEL, and my guess is that they'll both probably sound similar. Just going to boil down to what you want and if one has more gains than the other.

I've heard good things about Takeda intakes.

Xenon-SR is selling his tanabe exhaust, it's axle back though.

I have a Top Speed Pro-1 Exhaust. They sell at a low price compared to others. I also did a little review if you'd like to check it out.

Nothing wrong with the axelback. i believe the gains from a catback on the coupes is minimal compared to those of an axelback unless you're running a turbo setup.

Bit late but I forgot to mention this, the Injen SRI is also CARB legal, you just have to email them with pictures of your intake installed and vin sticker so that they can send you out your CARB sticker!
