Default billy boat fusions

i have a 013 with 5300 on the clock. thinking of putting headers and a tune on it in 2 weeks. one question. having the performance exhaust (npp) on the car already, would it make sense to go with the b.b. fusions? i'm thinking i'd be wasting my money but i really want something with a little bit of a better exhaust sound. by the way, i'll be going with the b.b. headers and the diablo tune. just looking for another 30 to 40 rwhp. thanks.

you can go with the fusions for their sound. why don't you hold off on the fusions until after you install the long tubes...you may like the sound of the npp.

I have the fusions on a Z right now. Too quiet for me, I just ordered the Fusion Extreme. On the quiet side they're great. No drone, just need them to be a bit louder when open. If your going for HP do the Borla ATAC I just sold mine and I miss it already. Good luck, it's an exhaust jungle out there.
