SMSP supported the Type-R Expo and you will see similar gains out of each of them. Yes SMSP makes an exhaust.

I vote SMSP based on the above. Tell Dave I said so too :p

The full 2.5" SMSP exhaust system is one of the best performing exhaust systems you can buy for the ITR. If you have the cash, you wont be dissapointed.

Well, here's my opinion on this.

Both systems are very good. Both will produce very good gains. Because of that, I would base my decision on my opinions of the people who run the companies. Dave@SMSP has been a supported of the ITR community for years now and is truly a good guy. John IMO is a complete asshole and a bad businessman. That's my opinion on it. So for me, I would never send John money, but would gladly send Dave money without concern.

Perhaps this link might assist you in comparing the SMSP and Hytech. If you look at the dyno curves, they are essentially the same. I would imagine no real live person could tell the difference between these two based on the "butt dyno". I am not sure about the editorial comments in the link, but you can make your own judgement by looking at the dyno curves.

Gain seems to be about 18 whp (from about 162 stock to 180 with header). This almost matches what Hytech says. Their website says you get 22 whp gain. This could be due to different exhaust systems used after the header. The link above does not state what exhaust was used.
