Gone - bye bye.
OS 18 destroys the 2.5r in ever category IMO. I've had both.
You have a MUCH greater chance to tear up your driveline with the 18 but if you drive it "right" you can snap some shafts with the 2.5 as well.

Ummm the differences...
-Well for one, you only have to tune the OS.18 about once or twice a year compared to three or four times a day with the 2.5R lol
- OS .18 = Power but that's been mentioned

OS 18 over the 2.5R:
Pro's:
Easier to tune.
Holds a tune.
Runs cool.
More power through the entire RPM range.
Header is much more durable.
Cons:
Costs more (about $90).
Drinks a little more fuel.
Replacment header is pricey.
Both engines would benifit from a better pipe.
