exhaust too restrictive?

ever since i put in the k24s i feel like the Tubi exhaust is restrictive...

it definitelly burbles and pops a lot more.

would you guys say that at my HP level this exhaust might be holding me back?

ive been looking at the EP stage II loud and it seems like it flows really well

Which version of the tubi do you have? Is it the single canister design (1st gen) or the 2nd one (two cans). If it's the first one then you're right it's not a very free flowing exhaust. EPStageII does flow well.

I'm also currently looking into an EP II Loud. Let me know if you going to go that route and maybe we can get a group buy together as i know a ton of other 6speeders would love to have this exhaust.

i think that _could_ help but it sounds like you're just talking about some additional lag which you get when going from K16s to K24s? It'll feel a little more sluggish down low...
