We have 95db on swedish tracks :( do you think your exhaust will make it with a resonated midpipe? :)
And how much to Sweden? :)

i saw at tsukuba some louder FD's custom made their tips to point downward away from the db meters.

sure you could send me a tip to start with.. oh and some gaskets i made one out of rtv...:naughty:

ya honestly thats the only problem other than that i like it but it dose cause your check eng light to come on bc the ecu cannot tottaly cope with the loss of back pressure and if you let your car idle for a while it gets kinda rough, but then again i have the rb dual resonated mid as well. i might have to get a cobb tuner to fix that..

Probably not. Possibly if used with a catalytic converter. Shoot me a pm with your zipcode and I can quote you shipping.

No tip!?!?!!? There was no little brown box? if so that explains everything I could have sworn that I put that box in there. It has the tip, hardware and gaskets....

You sir, are a compete idiot. First off why the hell would you install an exhaust without all the parts. Would you put in an engine without everything installed correctly...oh wait yes you probably would.

Second, do you even understand anything about exhaust, loss of back pressure causes the CEL to come on?!?!

With your level of intelligence you shouldn't try to install anything yourself, you are clearly a danger to yourself, and probably everyone around you.

I've been looking at this exhaust for awhile now.

Couldn't wait any longer, placed a order for the cat back and some EVO-R endlinks. Can't wait to get them! :ylsuper:

The front endlinks are back ordered. I will ship the exhaust out by itself.

Can you please double check the big box that the exhaust came in, there should be a 6x4x6 box with the Tip, gaskets and hardware in there. I just double checked my inventory and I am not extra those above items so the items were sent in that box. I know the box can be lost in the sea of packing peanuts.

I'm really considering this exhaust, but I was wondering if a dual is more quiet I heard single exit is louder? is this true? I live in california so I would like a fairly quiet exhaust cops out here hate pretty much anything that isn't domestic and from 30+ years ago

That's cool, I still got to get some shocks before I install anything.

Looking forward to hearing this exhaust on my car. :smoker:

wow ok you sir are an ass for one and i understand more than you ever will.. with the loss of back pressure the ecu cannot fully correct the fuel mapping for the loss of back pressure so.. you have to change you fuel mapping to do just that thats were cobb comes in for the light stuff and no i would not do an install with out all the parts that i needed the thermal resistant rtv was a good temporary fix for the gasket until i had one made and i had bought the proper hard wear before hand as well, but honestly if your just going to be an ass on here before you have any facts straight just dont post anything at all if you have a problem pm me and we can talk.

trust me i checked.. the box probally busted opened at some point during shipping and that little box might have fell out, either way i have it covered i did some measuring and contacted my engineering department while i was at work and they had the fabrication shop make me some gaskets and a tip in their spare time and it looks just the same as those in the pics that are supposed to come with the kit, even with the nice little blue tipping :)

:rollingla I suggest you do some major searching and reading and you will learn how stupid you are making yourself look.

Sorry Brice we don't mean to jack your thread but this guy is just too much. Back to the subject at hand, I really want your exhaust. Unfortunately the money I could have used to get it I ended up getting a whole new fuel pump assembly. When I do get around to it though I'd like to dyno this with a before and after comparison with the stock exhaust with mid pipe with all my other mods and will gladly post my results. I'll contact you about it later and maybe you can point me to a reputable dyno in the area.

A dyno in PSL? Where? The closest one I found was in Melbourne. Do you know what kind of equipment they have?

Z0oMzo0m 01-05-2012 03:48 AM

was an old friend, hes had it for years. your just looking for numbers so it would be ok, if you were doing any tunning id stay away. we call him Honda tom. basically what he covers.

but i couldn't tell you what equipment, i just know i pull my car up on it and accel. lol
i think he charges 60.00 for a few pulls. but i could be wrong its been awhile. if your interested let me know. i can try and get a hold of him

Race Roots 01-10-2012 10:41 AM

I am down to 2 exhausts in stock and ready to ship.

Johnvx1k 01-10-2012 11:39 AM

I posted this on the other thread for this exhaust, but I'll put it up here since I see people asking for videos. I love the exhaust. Didn't have any problems installing and its been good ever since.
