First of all... If you can live with that amount of noise... Great. Most people would find it objectionable and I'll bet it will turn heads for all the wrong reasons: "What the hell is wrong with your exhaust!"
Secondly, if you know anything about "free flow" exhausts you'll know that you're not gaining much in the way of power on a N/A engine with it... In fact, the engine NEEDS backpressure to work properly and you could in fact be LOSING horsepower at certains points in the power band. Certainly, any perceived performance increase is psychological...
Save the Sport Exhaust for a turbo. If you didn't BUY a turbo in the first place well thats the first mistake you made.
The other important point is that its irrelevant if you don't believe ME or you think that only ONE other person took off a sport exhaust on a 900S... ASK A QUALIFIED MECHANIC! Do some REAL research!! I'm afraid that you'll find that you're wrong...
Oh, and Yes I have owned a 900S in the past but I sold it and bought a Turbo! ;-)
