From what I've seen one of the most informative people on this site. Not to be rude to anyone else. But he was like Grey. I'm pretty sure I never saw him put anyone down for the Q's they had. Always answering everybodys Q's with facts and good info. Also did a good number of helpful DIY's. And I'm pretty new to this site, so I'm sure he may have done more than that.

i have seen alot of people helping out but unfortunately most of the knowledgeable ones have to be dicks about giving info out (FI forums to be exact). I always believe in sharing knowledge. what good will it do you to keep everything to yourself.

I know I'm going to DIY everything else I do for my car. I think everyone else should to. It helps out alot when your new to this. And it saves everyone money, and gives people more pride in thier work when they can do it themselves the way they want to.

i always try and help other civic owners. just last month i detailed my friends 05 civic with her help. we spent 6 hrs but it looks great when we finished. and it feels good not to ask for money like all those stupid install places that charge $100 just to install a stereo.

In a way it's kinda like a Pay it forward of the car world. Not to be stupid or anything. wouldn't it be nice to stomp out over priced mechanics and install tech forever. Wow, this thread topic just completely changed and I just relized it.

or a one hour job taking 4 hours with a lunch paid by you in between. While you sit there and read year old mags the whole time. And don't think I don't see you leaving for lunch!

I think its proven that both products work as they are intended to adding a couple ponies and sound good. The fitment is to little or no fabrication. I'm not sure what the difference in price is but I have the V2 and love it. I got it used along with the megan cat back exhaust for 350 on ebay. I don't want to be biased bc I have the V2 but if its in within your budget just get the damn thing and be done with it. PPl here keep saying its not worth it but I sure as hell can't afford a turbo right now or swap and I think its def a big improvement over stock. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the help
