I am just curious, what do you use the stick on thermometers on your oil pan and tranny case for? I am assuming they are thermometers.

Sorry I never got back to you... Yes they are thermometers, peak temp indicators. Just incase...

Here is one sound clip http://media.putfile.com/MVI_008891
It's on the dyno... and it's in track mode- no cat or silencer.
again... but looking at the back of the car. http://media.putfile.com/BCIII

So could you tell a good difference with the BCIII exhaust or is that not much considering the stock R exhaust is pretty big (what size is it? I dont know for sure..) I was also wondering if I should get a header first cuz I love the way the car sounds just with a CAI. Also what header is the best for the price I was thinkin prolly the stock JDM one. I have only had mine for a month now and Im tryin to learn some off you guys. Any help would be appriciated.. Thank you in advance.

before 165/116 after 189/136 with differences of the complete exhaust, VAFC. So yes there is more power with the BCIII exhaust and header and test pipe.

stock exhaust's smallest ID is a hair under 2.0 inches and the BCIII has a constant 2.38. One of the biggest things is the weight reduction from stock to the BC III system. Don't ask how much, I don't have #s.

can this exhaust still be that loud for daily driving with the use of a cat?

with a cat and silencer it's do-able for street use but still far from stock sound.
would I recommend it for DD, no.
